When patients return to clinic after long hospitalizations, they remember Kim Wiens by name because of her ability to relate to them and develop rapport. Kim not only remembers the patients, but is able to talk to them about their lives and events that might seem trivial to a health care provider but are critically important to the patients and their families.
