She worked tirelessly to address systemic issues and became an advocate for better patient outcomes.
During her acceptance speech, Kathleen reflected on her journey:
"Caring for my mother, father and husband through lengthy illnesses taught me the importance of speaking up and advocating for change. My parents' and husband's experiences inspired me to dedicate my life to improving care for others. I only knew the mistakes I made managing their care and wanted to ensure no one else had to face those same challenges."
