Women Inspiring Nevada: Kimberly Shaw, President & CEO, Dignity Health St. Rose-San Martin Hospital

Kimberly Shaw

After experiencing the care and compassion from the nurses who helped deliver her premature daughter, Kimberly Shaw was inspired to become a nurse herself. Now, she’s a nurse who runs an entire hospital.

Passionate about delivering great health care to our community, Shaw dusted off her scrubs and got out on the front line when the hospital experienced the COVID-19 surge. She jumped in as an emergency room charge nurse—bringing her back to the reason she got into health care in the first place. Shaw led more than 1,000 members of the San Martin team as the hospital managed its way through unprecedented times.

Shaw also provided unparalleled leadership and management on the business side of the hospital—managing shortages of critical PPE, balancing critical demand for sensitive medical equipment including ventilators and respirators, and maintaining collective bargaining agreements under rapidly evolving and uncertain circumstances.
