Kayleigh Risk, RN, BSN
Kayleigh Risk is a dedicated and compassionate professional with a rich background in nursing and management. Graduating from the IU School of Nursing marked the beginning of her impactful career. Initially, she immersed herself in the challenging environment of inpatient oncology, where her commitment and expertise shone through. Transitioning to the role of a charge nurse in the outpatient oncology setting, Kayleigh spent the next eight years at the Community MD Anderson Cancer Center North in Indiana. Here, she collaborated with the best in the field, contributing significantly to patient care and support. Kayleigh's passion for wellness and community health led her to play a pivotal role in the establishment and operation of a Wellness Clinic in her hometown of Brownsburg. Working alongside a team of talented Nurse Practitioners, she actively contributed to the clinic's success, fostering a culture of well-being within the community.
The call of new opportunities led Kayleigh and her husband to make a life-changing decision – to open and manage Synergy HomeCare of Charleston. Relocating down south, they embraced the challenge and have never looked back since. Over the past three years, Kayleigh has served as the Client Care Nurse Manager at Synergy, bringing her wealth of experience and dedication to the forefront.
Passionate about advocacy, Kayleigh found a new avenue to channel her commitment when she joined the Charleston team of Nurse Advocate Partners in October of 2023, coinciding with the opening of the Charleston branch. This role allows her to be a powerful voice for those who may not have the knowledge or ability to advocate for themselves.
Family plays a significant role in Kayleigh's life. She is a proud mother of two children and shares her home with two fur babies who keep her on her toes. During her precious free time, Kayleigh finds solace outdoors, particularly at the beach, where she revels in the beauty of palm trees and the calming presence of the ocean. Through her diverse experiences and unwavering commitment to care, Kayleigh Risk continues to make a positive impact on the lives of those she serves.
