This achievement is a testament to Kim’s dedication, hard work, and commitment to both the nursing profession and nursing practice at Littleton Regional Healthcare.
Kim joined LRH in 2004 as a Registered Nurse in the Obstetrics Unit. Her natural leadership ability quickly became evident. Over the years, Kim has had great success in various leadership roles including Nurse Manager, Clinical Director of Inpatient Services, and currently as the Senior Director of Nursing Services. She has showcased her passion for nursing through her tremendous contributions to recruitment and retention efforts, supporting and encouraging growth of our nursing staff skill sets, as well expanding our New Graduate Nursing Program.
