Kyra Gambrel, APRN

A board-certified family nurse practitioner, Gambrel specializes in cardiology, seeing patients ages 18 and older at Saint Joseph Medical Group – Cardiology. She has been a caregiver since 2010. Her areas of interest include management of congestive heart failure, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, as well as anticoagulation therapy. In her approach to care, Gambrel strives to provide personalized care, focusing on the patient’s needs and goals, rather than just their medical condition. “I take pride in being clear, honest and providing comprehensive information to help patients understand their conditions and treatment options,” she said. In expressing humankindness, she treats patients with compassion, respect and empathy. Gambrel was inspired to pursue health care for its potential to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives. The complexity of the heart has always intrigued her. “The heart is such a powerful organ, and understanding its functions and the impact of cardiovascular diseases on patients' lives is both challenging and rewarding,” she said of her specialty. GambreI received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing from Eastern Kentucky University. Away from work, she loves to cook, spend time with her family, travel and care for her three schnauzers.
