Renee Walthers
I joined the Grace Integrated team in June 2023, initially serving as an Office Coordinator before transitioning into my current role as Claims and Revenue Operations Manager. With a deep commitment to supporting both clinicians and clients, I ensure that the financial and administrative aspects of care are handled with precision and compassion, allowing the focus to remain on client mental health and happiness. My mission here at Grace is to ensure that operational excellence supports the organization’s broader goal of delivering accessible, high-quality behavioral health services to the communities it serves.
I am a graduate of Fox Business College, where I earned my degree in Executive Administrative Support. My diverse professional background spans from corporate as the Executive Assistant to the CEO of a Management Consulting firm, small business management, and educational sectors. Prior to joining Grace Integrated, I provided vital administrative support to a public high school counseling office and served as the Executive Assistant to the Principal at a private sector primary school. In addition to my work in education, I spent many years managing all accounting aspects for a family-owned retail bridal shop. This combination of personal, educational, and career experience allows me to navigate complex insurance and billing inquiries with expertise and empathy.
When I am not in the office, I enjoy immersing myself in home redecorating projects and gardening. I value quality time with my family and embrace each life experience as a learning experience given to me to help others. My family has had its share of medical issues along the way which has given me a deep passion to assist others in navigating their care and resources available to aid in their personal healing.
