Katie Klossner, director of marketing and public relations at Montrose Regional Health (MRH), has been named to Becker’s Healthcare 2026 list of “96 Chief Marketing Officers to Know,” which recognizes leaders shaping how health care organizations communicate and engage with patients. Becker’s Healthcare editors compile the annual list through a combination of editorial research and nominations.
Prior to joining MRH, Klossner served as director of marketing and membership for the Massachusetts Health Data Consortium, where she led a comprehensive digital transformation, expanded stakeholder engagement, and elevated thought leadership in the health care data and interoperability space. She also held communications leadership roles at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Trinity Health Senior Communities, supporting patient engagement, research initiatives, and national marketing efforts. She has received a NATAS Emmy Award, a Telly Award, and the John Cotton Dana Award, a national honor recognizing excellence in public relations.
Klossner joined Montrose Regional Health in 2025 following the departure of marketing director Brad Wiersma. Later that year, beloved chief ancillary services and marketing officer Leann Tobin retired after more than three decades with MRH.
At Montrose Regional Health, Klossner leads marketing and communications efforts that help patients better understand and access care close to home. She is known for bringing clarity to complex topics and demonstrating the value of strategic communications within the organization and in the community. Her work emphasizes building trust, strengthening relationships, and helping people feel informed and supported in their health care decisions.
“This recognition really reflects the incredible MRH caregivers and marketing team who make this work meaningful every day,” Klossner said. “They are the reason we have such powerful stories to share about the care and impact happening across our community.”
