Speaker: Mary Kruse (HealthSource Solutions)
Mary Kruse is a nationally recognized leader in workplace health and wellbeing with more than 40 years of experience designing programs that reach employees often left behind by traditional wellness models. She is the CEO and Owner of HealthSource Solutions, a Minneapolis-based organization focused on engaging frontline, onsite, shift-based, and dispersed workforces.
Mary’s work centers on closing engagement gaps for employees in manufacturing and construction - roles that are essential to our economy but often receive the least accessible support.

She believes safety and wellbeing are far more impactful when woven together and embedded into daily operations, making support more accessible, relevant, and sustainable.
Mary holds a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology and leads a talented team of 55 wellness professionals committed to building cultures of care that help every employee thrive.
