About Sunita Timilsina

My favorite thing about my job is helping patients maintain their dignity and independence as they age, and empowering them to embrace aging with confidence.

I joined UI because it offers a patient-centered approach with abundant resources, allowing me to provide the best care for diverse populations.

I like working with patients because I can treat them as whole individuals, considering their personal stories and goals to help them live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
- Sunita Timilsina
