New Controller in Finance Department and Director of Behavioral Health Services hold connections to Fergus Fallsvariations

Lake Region Healthcare (LRH) has hired Mariah Davenport as Controller in its Finance Department and promoted Linda Kidder to Director of Behavioral Health Services.

Davenport is a Fergus Falls native and a 2005 graduate of Fergus Falls High School. She graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, with degrees in accounting and healthcare administration.

She previously worked for healthcare organization clients of CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP in Brainerd.

Kidder has been with LRH for more than 11 years and was previously the Clinical Coordinator and the Nurse Director of the Bridgeway Care Unit. Now serving as the Director of Behavioral Health Services, Kidder said, “It is an amazing feeling to see someone feeling so hopeless and depressed to becoming a person who is able to smile, laugh and even joke with you after they have received the help they need.”

Kidder is also a Fergus Falls native and graduate. She attended Fergus Falls Community College, graduating from both the Licensed Practical Nurse and Registered Nurse programs. She is board certified in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing through the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

Both Davenport and Kidder are employed at the Fergus Falls LRH location.
