Mrs. Kapornyai began her career in 1997 at Danville Regional Medical as a Certified Nurse Assistant working on a medical surgical floor in the hospital. On this floor is where she realized how rewarding it was to serve and care for others. She became interested in being able to provide a higher level of care for her patients. In 2000 she graduated from Danville Community College as a Licensed Practical Nurse and in 2004 furthered her career in nursing graduating from Patrick Henry Community College as a Registered Nurse. Her nursing experience includes Medical/Surgical, Emergency Department and in 2008 achieved her goal to work in Women’s and Children’s as a Newborn Nursery Nurse.

Welcoming a newborn is an exciting time, but as most mothers would agree can also come with its own set of challenges. She enjoys being able to provide specialized care and support to new families in our community.
