Karen Kinahan is thorough and listens to the patient. However, she is now on a part-time basis and I think this is limiting. Though I only see her once a year, it means that only time I can see her is when she is at the hospital on a certain day.

Nurse Practitioner Kinahan is the absolute best. She is kind, organized, tender hearted, thorough, helpful and does extra. I mentioned not being able to print my genetic data from my tablet. She was out the door and back with two copies for my family. I was blown away from this act of kindness. She is such a blessing!

Disclosures

Karen E. Kinahan, APRN reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
