LUDLOW, Vt. – North Star Health is pleased to announce the appointment of Rosalind “Roz” Klezos as the new practice director of Ludlow Health Center. Klezos is experienced in clinical care, operations, and team leadership, and has a longstanding commitment to serving patients in our region.
Klezos brings a broad and well-rounded healthcare background to her role.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to return home to North Star Health and the Ludlow community,” Klezos said. “I’ve had the privilege of learning from exceptional health care leaders, and I’m excited to bring that knowledge, along with my passion for patient-centered care, back to the place that shaped me.”
Klezos believes deeply in providing access to care for those who need it most, and finds inspiration in the power of imagination, motivation, and strategic transformation that stand to strengthen the health of the Ludlow area.
“We are thrilled to welcome Klezos to North Star Health,” said Joshua R. Dufresne, chief executive officer. “Her well-rounded experience, collaborative spirit, and commitment to patient-centered care make her an excellent fit for the North Star team, and the obvious choice to lead Ludlow Health Center.”
