ALBION—The staff at
Lovejoy Health Center will be welcoming Nichole “Nikki” Kimborowicz, PA to the
practice this summer. Nikki obtained undergraduate degrees from Sacred Heart
University, CT and the University of Southern Maine in Biology and Nursing, respectively. In
addition, she recently received a Master of Science in Physician Assistant
Studies from the University of New England. Her clinical areas of interest
include gerontology, family medicine, chronic disease management and Medication
Assisted Treatment (MAT). She brings experience both as a certified nursing
assistant and registered nurse in residential settings to the practice.
Nikki recently shared:
“When applying for jobs as a new graduate PA, I knew that I wanted to join an
organization that provided compassionate, community-based, patient-centered
care with an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration. It is evident that
Lovejoy does exactly that. I am excited to practice medicine in an environment
where I will be able to see patients of all ages and continue to grow as a new
clinician in such a supportive atmosphere.”
Nikki
will be joining physician Dean Chamberlain, physician assistants Bobby Keith
and Cory Miller, family nurse practitioners Kaitlynn Read and Keiko Kurita,
psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner Marta Hall, and clinical social
workers Deb Daigle and Brandy LeClair.
