Kim has contributed as a parent stakeholder to the implementation of the evidence-based Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT) and is asked to endorse many professional studies that address the ongoing needs of families after a pediatric cancer diagnosis. In 2018, Kim was elected to the Board of Directors of the Coalition Against Childhood Cancer (CAC2) and most recently joined the Patient Advocacy Committee of Children's Oncology Group. In honor of her commitment to families, Kim was the recipient of the first Community Star Award presented by Children's Hospital and Clinics of Minnesota's Cancer & Blood Disorders Clinic in 2014.Kim’s son was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009, and she has made supporting families and caregivers of children with cancer her life mission.
