Winneshiek Medical Center in Decorah has recently introduced Brianne Leikvold, RN, BSN as the new director of Obstetrics (OB) at Winneshiek Medical Center. Leikvold succeeds Connie Klimesh, RN as she approaches retirement.
Leikvold received her nursing education from Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. Most recently, she has served as the OB Nurse Manager at Crossing Rivers Health in Prairie Du Chien, WI and Veterans Memorial Hospital in Waukon.
Leikvold says, “Obstetric nursing has always been a passion of mine. Being a mother to young children, I have a personal understanding of how important OB teams are to families. I look forward to bringing my knowledge, experience and love for OB to Winneshiek Medical Center and serving the surrounding region.”
Kathy Moritz, chief nursing officer at Winneshiek Medical Center, says, “Brianne’s experience in the Obstetric setting, coupled with her passion for the care of mother and baby, will be a great asset to our Obstetric department. We are excited to welcome her to the team as our services to families continue to expand across the region.”
Leikvold and her husband have four children ranging from ages seven to one, and they reside in Waukon. In addition to spending time with her family, she enjoys outdoor activities, including camping, hiking and horseback riding.
