Developing a Plan
For Her Patients
An innate desire to care for others led Kaci Floyd to a career in nursing, but she’s found her true passion working in pediatrics. “I am blessed to be given the responsibility and opportunity to come to work with pediatric patients and their families,” says Floyd, who treats a number of chronic pediatric urologic conditions, including urinary incontinence, urinary frequency, recurrent urinary tract infections, and vesicoureteral reflux. “As a mom, I know firsthand the stress and anxiety that comes with having a sick child or a child with chronic conditions,” she adds. “My message to all parents is that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed, it’s okay to ask questions, it’s okay to advocate, and it’s okay to ask for help.”
I find it extremely rewarding to provide family-centered care that supports both the child and family through open communication and understanding."
