Lamea was working at a dry cleaner when a then-employee suggested she apply at NKCH, and the rest is a 15-year history. Starting in admitting, she moved to food services and eventually found her way to our CNA Academy, then became a registered nurse, completing her master’s degree in nursing and will be sitting for her boards to become a nurse practitioner. And Lamea did all this while raising a family, working and going to school full-time.

An immigrant from Turkey, Lamea is a practicing Muslim who is proud to be part of a team that reflects Kansas City’s diversity and is often among the first to welcome new employees from different backgrounds.


Lamea speaks openly of her love for NKCH and considers it her home away from home. If you would like to find your home and experience this kind of career growth, search our open positions and apply online today.
