Kathleen M. Glenn, NP

Philosophy of care | I promote the health of children for their best quality of life and support their families during this exciting and joyous transition. I help alleviate any stress that may be experienced when a child or newborn is hospitalized for illness, or even experienced by new parents. I build relationships with patients and their families and look forward to partnering with you and helping your child thrive. | Why I entered medicine | I have had many formative experiences leading to a career in nursing and medicine. The most impactful was a month-long hospitalization when I was 7. Later, as a young adult choosing my career path, I reflected on that time and found inspiration in the relationships the nurses had with the other patients and myself. I remember making friends with all the other kids on the floor; I was interested in their illnesses and treatment plans, sparking my continued interest in health, wellness, diseases and treatments. Newborns were my first love in life, so I first became a neonatal intensive care nurse and found joy in providing life-sustaining care for these tiniest but mightiest miracles. I then became a pediatric nurse practitioner to provide more advanced health care to kids of all ages. | Community involvement | I volunteer with and donate to Potcake Place on the Turks and Caicos Islands and have made a medical mission trip to Peru. I was a child mentor in Philadelphia and a member of the Temple University Student Service Organization. | Personal interests | I enjoy time with family and friends as well as traveling – especially to tropical islands. I am an animal and nature enthusiast whose interests include dog sitting and scuba diving. Dogs, sharks and the ocean are among my favorite things.
