Welcome

I’m Kimberly Valenta, MD—a physician, medical writer, and content strategist. I help health tech teams, education providers, and mission-driven organizations create content that supports informed decisions, strengthens communication, and builds trust.

Whether I’m developing clinical decision support tools, writing accredited CE, or translating complex topics for patients and caregivers, I bring clinical insight, writing expertise, and a deep respect for the people using the content.

Clarity. Credibility. Clinical insight that drives better decisions.

Strategic content support for digital health, clinician education, and patient communication.
