Steve Heckert is a much loved HRBP for KinderCare in Region 5 and was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer shortly after the North Star Summit this year. He underwent several surgeries and intense treatments over the last 6 months, but recently ended the treatments and is at home with his family on hospice care. Steve has been with KinderCare for 16 years in a variety of roles including Employee Relations prior to moving into his most recent role of HRBP in Region 5 with Kelly Wagman. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him and/or had the pleasure of working with him.
