Kimberly A. Kross, DO

My philosophy is to care for you and your family as I would want my family cared for. I do that by listening, understanding and providing compassionate, efficient and excellent emergency care. I am honored to serve our community each day by offering the best care and treatments available.

I am the youngest of five children and grew up in a family of nurses. I was inspired at a young age to strive for the privilege of caring for others. I entered medicine to try to help one person at a time, hoping it may have a lasting effect on their quality of life. I am grateful to meet each patient, learn their story and affect their life in some small way. I also am intrigued by the potential to help save someone's life. That’s why I chose emergency medicine as a specialty.

I am the fortunate wife of a great man and mom to four amazing boys. I love to volunteer at our church and the boys' schools. My husband and I sponsor several children in foreign countries. I contribute to events that support the formation of women's faith and well-being. We contribute to veterans’ funds as well as local mission services. Our family has helped the Friends of the Poor and worked with Family to Family and Catholic Social Services.

I devote free time to faith formation, fitness, running and CrossFit. I also enjoy helping out with youth sports, including cross country, basketball and baseball. I am a veteran, proud to have served in the U.S. Air Force. I enjoy playing the piano, spending time with family and friends, traveling when possible, and hiking. I also enjoy gardening and yard work.
