Candice Osmundson
Mason Health welcomed Candice Osmundson, Specialty Care Manager at Mason Clinic, to the district in May 2026. She brings nearly two decades of experience in healthcare, including several years in operations and leadership roles, and has a strong passion for community-based healthcare, making her a perfect fit for Mason Health.
Originally from Southern California, Osmundson has lived in University Place, Washington since 1999. From an early age, she was drawn to a career in healthcare. She has a long history of nursing in her family.
“Healthcare always felt like a natural path for me. I grew up seeing the impact they had on patients and their communities, and it made the field feel both familiar and meaningful,” said Osmundson.
Osmundson brings a wealth of knowledge and a long list of accomplishments to Mason Health. She received an Associate of Science in Pre-Nursing from South Puget Sound Community College in 2016 and a Bachelor’s in Health Care Administration from Western Governors University in 2025. She began her career in 2007 as a Health Unit Coordinator at St. Clare Hospital in Lakewood, later moving into a role as a Cardiac Monitor Technician. In 2014, she joined the remote telemetry suite at Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, where she helped build the largest centralized telemetry monitoring unit in Washington state. In 2023, Osmundson was promoted to Cardiac Monitoring Unit Supervisor, leading a team of 92 telemetry technicians across eight hospitals helping an average of 700 patients daily. Before joining Mason Health, she served as the Surgical Oncology Clinic Manager for the MultiCare Cancer Institute.
When she’s not tending to the needs of patients or wrangling her four children, Osmundson spends the spring and summer months gardening – she grows corn, pumpkins, onions, blueberries, strawberries, and more. She even calls herself mom to a small flock of chickens. And, when the months start turning from warm and sunny to cold and wet, you’ll most likely find her somewhere snowboarding.
