Lori Lin Kelly

To continue serving patients with the greatest care and compassion, while continuing to further my knowledge and expertise in healthcare practice. I believe my determination, passion, fast learning abilities, solid work ethic and dedication would be a great asset to your healthcare organization. I have strong leadership skills, extensive wound care experience of 10 years, and certification as a Certified Wound Specialist with the ABWM.

Prior to that I had over 10 years of emergency department experience as an RN. I have the experience and certifications you are looking for. I have independently run two wound centers over the last 10 years, building the wound center at EORH from scratch.

I of course had a collaborative physician whom I can count on for advice and questions but can work quite independently as well. I am now overseeing our new HBOT services.
