Adolescent Medicine
 

Katie grew up in St. Louis. She received her B.A. from Brown University and attended the University of Rochester School of Medicine where she received her M.D. Katie is a board certified pediatrician at the Adolescent Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital where she enjoys seeing patients and teaching residents and medical students. When she is not seeing patients Katie spends much of her time and energy advocating for health care access for uninsured and underinsured people in our state. She received a Soros Advocacy Fellowship through the Medicine as a Profession program of the Soros Foundation. The Fellowship allowed her to increase children's access to health care through a policy called presumptive eligibility for children in the state of Missouri. This policy allows income eligible children to be immediately enrolled in the Medicaid or CHIP program at community sites. She looks forward to continuing to build on these community relationships to secure access to quality health care for all.
