Chapter Background
Get to Know Your Chapter Leadership Team!
Welcome to the Kansas City Chapter, also known as the Heart of America Chapter. This chapter started in 2018. We look to encourage membership from Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Clinics, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Clinic Informatics, Educators, LPNs, Cardiac Wellness, Respiratory Therapists, Nuclear Medicine, and Echocardiology staff. Membership is open to all nurses and health care professionals who manage or have an interest in cardiovascular disease risk.
The Kansas City Chapter supports evidence-based preventative cardiology education for clinicians and patients with the goal of optimal cardiovascular health. We want to offer opportunities for education and networking within our region. Our current goals are to increase membership and encourage attendance to chapter activities. Both members and nonmembers are welcome to attend chapter meetings.
The Kansas City Chapter is currently led by Jen Butler and Erin Kreisel.
Jen Butler BSN, RN, CCRN-K, CV-BC is a nurse in the Cardiovascular Medicine Clinics at The University of Kansas Health System. I’ve worked in cardiology since 2005 starting in Cardiothoracic ICU, then Cath/EP Lab and now have transitioned to the ambulatory care space. The team I work with focuses on the care of interventional and vascular patients. If you want some fun items to share: I am a fitness/running fanatic and especially if I can find a good trail! I love the outdoors especially when spent with my husband, daughter, very soon to be son-in-law and my dogs. I also have more pics of my dogs on my camera roll than people.
Erin Kreisel, BSN, FNP – BC has been a nurse for over 20 years and a nurse practitioner for 14 years with a background in Vascular Surgery and cardiovascular medicine. Currently working at the University of Kansas Medical Center in interventional cardiology. She carries a special focus in peripheral artery disease.
