Kim Perry, FNP-C, is a compassionate guide for those on the caregiving journey, blending her heartfelt experiences as a hospice nurse and her personal story of losing her father.
A proud Alaskan, Kim shares her home with her husband Kevin and their beloved dog Zak, a dedicated hospice service dog who’s been with her at the bedside of her patients through countless visits.
When she’s not offering wisdom and support, you’ll find Kim soaking up the sun in warmer climates and indulging in delicious food. She’s a devoted daughter, sister, mom, and new grandma, bringing joy and warmth to everyone she meets.
We become competent by looking, learning, and practicing.
My primary purpose in helping other caregivers is: to reduce the emotional and physical burdens of caregiving, and thereby protect mental health and physical health. Caregivers are called "secondary patients" because they are the ones who often get sick and injured from the work, but their stress and strain is invisible (and also culturally accepted).
I hope that together we can change that!
Caregivers who are prepared and confident to lead may actively impact the building of a better world.
