She brings a deep passion for holistic care, drawing inspiration from her international experiences and a lifelong calling to serve others. A graduate of North Park University and Rush University, Kim’s approach to patient care emphasizes radical hospitality, compassion, and seeing patients as whole individuals—addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Her commitment to treating others as she would her own family is rooted in her faith and mission to connect with patients on a human level. Kim strives to create a welcoming environment where every person feels seen, known, and cared for. She says, "Radical hospitality is a lost art in what we do, but I think it’s what Christ calls us to—and it’s the way I want to care for my patients." Want to join our team? We're Hiring!
