Kimberly has created something rare: stability. Her genuine support and commitment to her team’s development have transformed her unit into a place where staff choose to stay, grow, and thrive.
It is Kimberly began her journey on 3 Main as a nurse resident in 2020. From those early days, it was clear she was destined for leadership. She quickly advanced to team leader, then Assistant Nurse Manager (ANM), and now serves as the Nurse Manager, a role she embodies with unmatched dedication, professionalism, and heart. Watching her growth has been nothing short of inspiring. Kimberly’s leadership is a powerful blend of compassion, accountability, and vision. Under her guidance, her unit has achieved outstanding milestones, including an incredible 90 (plus) days without a pressure injury. This speaks volumes about the culture of safety and excellence she fosters every day. In a specialty like Med-Surg, known for its high turnover, Kimberly has created something rare: stability. Her genuine support and commitment to her team’s development have transformed her unit into a place where staff choose to stay, grow, and thrive. That kind of loyalty doesn’t just happen. It’s built by leaders who care deeply, who recognize potential, and who invest in their people. Kimberly is the very definition of an “open-door leader.” She listens. She shows up. She leads with consistency, presence, and purpose. Despite the constant demands of her role, she remains approachable and grounded, a steady force for her team. Frankly, I don’t know how she keeps up with it all, but somehow, she does, and she does it with grace. She is a living example of our service standards and a daily reminder of what exceptional leadership looks like when it’s rooted in heart, vision, and excellence.
