BRADENTON, FL, February 05, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Nirmala Kishun has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Kishun has established herself as a leading expert in population health, currently serving as the senior vice president of population health at MCR Health Inc. since 2012. In this capacity, she manages strategies across the organization's platform, collaborating with physicians and care teams to ensure the achievement of high-value outcomes. Her leadership has been instrumental in advancing MCR Health's mission and driving measurable improvements in patient care. Her collaborative approach fosters cross-functional teams that leverage data-driven strategies to ensure patient well-being is at the center of every initiative.

A significant milestone in Dr. Kishun's career was her role in helping to establish the Diabetes Therapeutic Optimization Program five years ago. The initiative targeted diabetic patients with average blood sugar levels over 14, a group facing considerable health risks. Under her guidance, the program achieved remarkable success, with 70% of participants now maintaining blood sugar levels below 9. This accomplishment underscores her commitment to innovative health care solutions and her ability to effect positive change for vulnerable populations.

Dr. Kishun's dedication to transforming health care has earned her national recognition. She was nominated for the Rising Star Award at the RISE National Conference, a prestigious event that honors leaders who are reshaping the health care landscape. This nomination highlighted her advocacy for wellness and her impact on system-wide transformation. Additionally, she was named a finalist for the Trailblazer Award by RISE in 2025 and received employee recognition from MCR Health for her outstanding contributions. She was also featured in Influential Women, a platform where women from all backgrounds can connect, share their perspectives, and create content that empowers themselves and others. Through storytelling, thought leadership, and creative expression, Influential Women amplifies voices that inspire change.

Her academic journey began at the University of Guyana, where she earned a Doctor of Medicine degree. As a foreign graduate, she faced significant challenges, including passing the United States Medical Licensing Examination boards at a time when matching into a residency program was highly competitive—one in 70,000 odds. Dr. Kishun credits her faith, family support and optimistic outlook as key factors in overcoming these obstacles and achieving professional success.

Dr. Kishun's professional affiliations include membership in the American Medical Association and the Manatee Chamber of Commerce, reflecting her engagement with both medical and business communities.

Beyond her professional responsibilities, Dr. Kishun is actively involved in civic organizations. She serves on the board of Gateway Church of the Nazarene and volunteers with medical outreach programs through Guyana Presbyterian Church, demonstrating her commitment to community engagement. Having developed a strong sense of service early in life, she hopes to one day be remembered for the positive impact she has had on the lives of others.

In her personal life, Dr. Kishun enjoys cooking and traveling. She is devoted to her family and is the parent of one son. Looking ahead, she is passionate about advancing policy changes and health care reform both within Florida and nationally, with a particular focus on developing robust programs that address health care equity and bridge existing gaps in the system.
