About Karen Wayson-Kisling, MSN, AGNP-C
Biography
What do you want patients to know about you? As an Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered care that supports older adults in maintaining independence, function and quality of life. I value building trusting relationships with patients and families, and I enjoy collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to manage complex, chronic conditions. My motivation for serving in healthcare comes from a deep respect for aging individuals and a commitment to promoting dignity, comfort and wellness across the lifespan.
What do you like to do in your free time? I enjoy being with my family and caring for my chihuahuas. I especially look forward to summer, when I enjoy kayaking with my daughter, soon-to-be son-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Describe your family: I have been married for over 30 years and have two adult children, a daughter and a son.
