Katlen Gibson
Director of NursingKatlen Gibson, Director of Nursing
“I have been in the healthcare industry since 2011. As a former CNA I took my education further and became an LPN. I started my Career with Genesis Healthcare in 2015 as a LPN. I proceeded to obtain my BSN which was completed at Rio Grande university in Ohio. My ultimate goal for furthering my education is to help make a positive impact on health care. Taking care of people is something I love to do. I was born in NC and raised in Poca WV. I am married and have three beautiful children. I have had experience in many different fields such as pediatrics, med surg, cardiac, home health, ICU, psych, and LTC.”
"I love the outdoors, spending time with family and friends, cleaning/organizing and helping others. A graduate of Poca High School and Rio Grande University, I chose a career in healthcare to make a difference!! To help others in need and to educate people about the importance of health, and finding way to improve working in healthcare to prevent burnout as it can both take a toll on both staff and residents. "
