Meet Your Care Team
Our care navigators, radiologists, managers and directors are aligned by one mission: thorough and compassionate patient care
Breast Health Navigators
Our care navigators help guide patients through the healthcare system. This includes help going through the screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of a medical condition, such as cancer.

Meet Kristi Coon, CN-BA
I have been working at Minneapolis Radiology since 2009. Over the years, I have enjoyed providing comfort and care to our patients and their families. I think it is so important to establish a connection and be that familiar voice or face.
In my free time I enjoy cheering on my son in his sporting events; lacrosse, baseball and golf. I also enjoy outdoor activities, water sports, running and nutrition.

I started working for Minneapolis Radiology (MRA) when this Maple Grove location first opened in December 2007, but I have worked with the MRA radiologists since 1992.
I am The Breast Center supervisor, a mammography tech and a breast health patient navigator. I really enjoy the variety that I get on a daily basis and I love connecting with my patients and helping them in any way that I can through their imaging and breast procedures.
I spend my free time with my family and friends. My husband and I have 2 grown children. We love watching hockey, water sports and spending time outside! We are a very adventurous and on the go family. I also have a secret love of Hallmark movies!

I starting with Minneapolis Radiology (MRA) in June 2021, but I have been in the medical field for about 10 years prior to joining MRA.
What I enjoy most about my job is working one on one with patients and being able to comfort them throughout the entire process.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 2 kiddos Alec and Emma. During the warmer months, you can find us out on the lake either fishing, tubing or swimming. I also enjoy running in my free time too and always trying to improve my run times for the next 5K, 10K or half-marathon.

Leadership
Our leadership team ensures that each interaction is caring and compassionate. We use our expertise to perform and interpret medical imaging exams every day.

Clinic Manager
I began working at Minneapolis Radiology in 2007. I have experience in several areas of radiology- mammography, general radiography, and CT. I have been the clinic manager for The Breast Center of Maple Grove, Imaging Centers of Maple Grove & Plymouth since 2013. I have always enjoyed working with patients to help make their exam as comfortable and easy as possible. Now that I am a manager, I miss direct interaction with patients but I hope I can influence decisions that truly make a positive difference for them.
When I am not working, I enjoy relaxing with friends and family, spending time on the lake, and traveling as much as possible.
