🌟 Meet the Board: Kimberly Rickard, DNP, CNM, WHNP-BC, PMH-C , our Education & Training Lead🌟

We’re honored to introduce Kimberly Rickard, a Certified Nurse Midwife, Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) provider. Kimberly practices at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC), where she cares for women and families across the lifespan with skill, compassion, and a deep commitment to whole-person care.

Kimberly’s passion for maternal mental health began during her doctoral work, which focused on improving screening and support for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. She is dedicated to helping parents feel seen, heard, and supported through every stage of pregnancy and postpartum.

Kimberly is honored to advocate for better access to compassionate, comprehensive care for families in her community — and we are grateful for the heart and expertise she brings to our board.
