BIO
Molly Propst comes to UVM from York Hospital in York, Maine, where she was Interim Chief Human Resources Officer. Previously, she was Chief Human Resources Officer for Jefferson Healthcare, a critical access hospital in Port Townsend, Washington. Prior to that Propst spent nearly 15 years in human resources, ultimately as Chief Human Resources Officer, at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Mississippi’s only academic medical center—a system of seven hospitals, with over 10,000 employees and a major medical research enterprise.
Propst earned her B.A. in psychology and music from Culver-Stockton College in Canton, Mo., an M.S. in psychology from Illinois State University, and has furthered her learning through doctorate-level work in human resources management and organizational behavior at the University of Washington. She is a frequent national and regional speaker on employee engagement and workforce planning and strategy.
Propst is a proud mother of two who leads an active and creative life. She is an animal lover, especially devoted to her rescued 10-year-old Great Dane, a longtime running companion. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys spending time outdoors—kayaking, snow skiing, swimming, and playing pickleball. As a lifelong musician, she finds joy in playing the piano and singing. She looks forward to becoming part of the greater Burlington community and building the meaningful connections she values so deeply.
