Kimberly Levenson graduated from the Emory University School of Nursing in 2006 and started her nursing career at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, GA working with brain injury and spinal cord injury patients on the medical and surgical unit. Kimberly’s passion for working with this patient population and their high risk for wound and pressure injury development led her to continue her education and obtain her CRRN in 2008 and CWOCN and CFCN through the Emory University Nursing Wound Care Program in 2017.

    Kimberly continues to pursue her passion of pressure injury prevention and treatment at Shepherd Center focusing on patient treatment plans and staff education. She presents a monthly Skin Champion Workshop; a six-hour didactic and hands-on wound, ostomy and continence skills session. Kimberly and her WOCN team placed first at the Georgia Hospital Association Conference in 2022 with their quality improvement project Zip it in the Bud: A visual management technique for reducing pressure injuries due to improper footwear.

Kimberly is consistently advocating for her patients and researching ways to prevent these issues from initially occurring with their high-risk population.
