KIMBERLY DIAZ R.N.

I am Kimberly Diaz. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, friend, lover of animals, RN, and advocate for my clients. My 22 years of hands-on professional clinical experience as a Registered Nurse, Case Manager, College Instructor, VA Nurse, Director of Hospice, Clinical Manager of Home Health, Placement specialist, Master Negotiator, and Death Midwife has given me the experience, leadership skills, and the knowledge to recognize we need to do better. That there is no cookie-cutter solution. That each case, each family, each patient has unique needs that need to be considered for them to receive optimal care. 

​

In the last 13 years, I have been in hospice care, focused on geriatrics and dementia. I was first introduced to geriatrics and dementia through my grandfather. He was a Veteran and I spent many hours at the VA starting at the age of four visiting him.  While visiting him, I would also visit many fascinating men and women admitted to the VA with similar diagnoses.  I felt the immediate need to “help” them, to bring them solace, and to make a difference. These visits, while short in nature, were comforting to them and I enjoyed contributing at an early age.
