Julie Kropacz

March 3, 1959 - August 13, 2020

Our dear friend and colleague Julie Kropacz, Head of Quality, Improvement and Transformation at Herts Urgent Care (HUC), sadly passed away of cancer on 13 August. After being with HUC since its formation, it's impossible to describe how sadly she will be missed and her passing leaves a huge gap. She initially started as a Driver and District Nurse Call Handler and over time progressed through our services to becoming a key leadership figure. Julie wanted to deal with her illness in her own quiet and private way. Our executive team supported her along the way to help her and her family through this sad and dark time. We are all incredibly shocked at her passing - we know she is loved and respected by so many people at HUC, and many of you will be thinking of her and carrying her in your hearts. Julie was also well known to many of our commissioner colleagues and other stakeholders and we know they share our pain at losing her. This online book of remembrance is a way for us to capture our memories of Julie for her family and for the future. From an organisational perspective, she was absolutely instrumental in the set up and launch of all our services, as well as many pilots and service enhancements. Yet she also always had an ear for colleagues and acted as a role model and inspiration for many with a can do attitude. She will never be forgotten. Our hearts and thoughts go out to her husband Mark and daughter Phoebe at this very difficult time.

When I first joined Huc I didn't really know who Julie was and then one day was introduced as the lady who knows everything about Huc. Julie was very friendly and when I joined the auditing team said to me ' you will do a great job but remember the HA's work hard and have a lot to deal with so don't be too harsh, although being a HA I know you will understand.' . Julie was always helpful whenever I had a query and when Covid hit, she made sure I understood all the changes that took rapidly place and often we would say to each other 'what will Boris say now', whilst waiting for the daily press conference. Julie was so enthusiastic about Huc and always championing the service and the services that we deliver and fiercely protective of us all. She will be sorely missed and I send prayers and condolences to her family. Rest In Peace Julie. xx
