Martha Kingman Liberty

Nurse Practitioner
Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic

First UTSW job: Assistant Nurse Manager in the Emergency Department. Later, I became the Manager and then the Director of the ED. 

Best part about my job: I love to see our pulmonary hypertension patients’ quality of life and prognoses improve after they start therapy. Also, my teammates inspire me with their expertise and knowledge.

What energizes me at work: Our weekly case conferences, as I invariably learn something new. 

How co-workers describe me: Thorough, knowledgeable, caring, and efficient.

Recipe for success: Having a continued interest in learning and striving for excellent patient care.

I wish I were an instant expert at: Landscaping.

I’m really good at: Editing manuscripts.

Hobby or passion: Spending time with family, traveling, gardening, and sailing.

Surprising fact: I have been playing canasta (a card game) every month for 30 years with a group of friends.

Final note: I have worked in the Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic since 2000, when I became a Nurse Practitioner. Since then, the program has grown into one of the largest in the country. I have had wonderful opportunities to lecture and educate health care practitioners about pulmonary hypertension.
