Henry Kirori, NP - Beacon Medical Group Advanced Cardiovascular Specialists RiverPointe

About Henry Kirori

It was in 2005 that Henry Kiroir, NP, decided to pursue a career in nursing. “My mother was a nurse, but I never thought I would pursue the same profession,” he says.

Always intrigued by the cardiovascular system, he chose that as his specialty. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Lakeview College of Nursing, Danville, IL, and his Master of Science in Nursing from Goshen College, Goshen, IN.

His education taught him to appreciate health and life one day at a time. “I always provide the best care possible and never stop learning,” he says. Henry continues, saying he is committed to the patients he cares for and gets a satisfaction when a patient’s condition improves.

Henry said if there is something his patients have taught him it is to never take life for granted and to treat everyone with great care and respect.
