She provides education to new ostomy patients, caregivers, and physicians. She is also a direct caregiver and visits patients in their homes as they begin the process of learning
to manage their ostomies. Kim loves to share her knowledge and uses positive reinforcement to encourage patients not to give up when faced with difficult tasks.
