But Kim 's series option was up and she was ready to give Teddy Altman a much - needed vacation. It 's been a pleasure working with someone as talented and funny and kind as Kim ; everyone is going to miss her terribly. I like to imagine that Teddy is still out there in the Grey 's Anatomy universe, running Army Medical Command and building a new life. '' When the news of her departure was released, Raver wrote on her Twitter, `` I 've had one of the best times of my creative career working on Grey 's with Shonda, Betsy and the best cast on Television, '' she wrote, adding : `` I feel fortunate and grateful to have worked with such an amazing team at GA ( Grey 's Anatomy ).
