June 2, 2025
Katie Boven, RN, an Infectious Disease nurse at Trinity Health Grand Rapids, shares why she chose to work for Trinity Health Michigan and how it fuels her passion to care for others.
“I love being an Infectious Disease nurse, specializing in HIV. Providing care allows me to make a meaningful impact on my patients’ lives,” said Katie.
Katie has worked for Trinity Health Grand Rapids for 12 years. Serving as a nurse, especially in infectious disease, allows Katie to answer the call to provide care for some of our most vulnerable patients.
“Every day, I get to provide compassionate care, support and education. I help individuals manage their health and live fulfilling lives — despite the diagnosis. I find it especially rewarding to assist patients with new HIV diagnoses. I am able to guide them through the initial stages of their journey and offer the reassurance and knowledge they need to navigate their condition,” said Katie.
Outside of work, Katie provides self-care by spending time with her horse, Blue.
