Dr. Kim Nordstrom is the medical director of health strategy and behavioral health at Colorado Access. Originally from Connecticut, she has lived all over the US as part of a military family. Dr. Nordstrom chose to study medicine and law in order to affect change in the area of health policy and legislation. During her training, she found a special affinity for psychiatry, especially crisis and emergency psychiatry. She has written many articles and three books on the subject. Even though she enjoys policy, administration and writing, she also works clinically as an emergency department psychiatrist. She tends to be busy but maintains balance with her home life. More than anything, she enjoys just hanging out with her family.
