Katie is involved with many community groups including Second Harvest Food Bank, Primates, Inc., NAMI, and the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin.
They love to travel. Their favorites have been seeing the Hubbard Glacier calving in Alaska, which they reported as awesome, and experiencing the amazing rain forest in Costa Rica.
_I love helping people and providing compassionate care. It is very satisfying to guide patients through their recovery process and to be there for them during a difficult time._ - Kathlyn Klein, PA-C
