Kelly began her nursing career after graduating from Erie
Community College Nursing Program in 1992. A native of Orchard Park, she worked
at Our Lady of Victory Hospital in a variety of areas including oncology,
surgical services, the ICU, and Emergency Department. She relocated to
Wellsville and joined the ER at Jones in March 2000. During her career at
Jones, she has worked in the ER and cardiac services like stress testing,
cardiac rehab, and interventional radiology. Last year, she was named the Clinical
Lead in the ER.
“I like the quick pace of the emergency room – you never
know what is going to happen next,” she said, adding that the ER is often the
“front door” of the hospital because many admission come through there. Having
been in a leadership role for the past year, Kelly is familiar with many of the
responsibilities associated with her new position. “I am looking forward to the
new challenges I will find in this advanced leadership role,” she said.
Kelly and her husband David, the superintendent of
Wellsville Central School District, live in Wellsville. Their younger son,
Jake, is attending SUNY Fredonia. Older son Alex and his wife Kelsey live in
Orchard Park and are expecting Kelly’s first grandchild any day now.
