Kenisha Campbell, MD, MPH, is board certified in Adolescent Medicine and Pediatrics and is an Adolescent Medicine specialist and the Director of Adolescent Medicine Outpatient Clinical Services at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She specializes in treating teenagers with eating disorders and addressing reproductive and sexual health care. She is also working on ways to improve the quality of care adolescents receive.
Dr. Campbell finds her specialty rewarding because of the major developments that patients make during this phase of life. “Adolescence is such an exciting time of development and I enjoy being able to help adolescents and their families navigate this critical period and to learn the skills necessary to reach their full potential,” she says.
Dr. Campbell said she feels particularly passionate about treating patients with eating disorders. “We utilize a multidisciplinary approach to support families in restoring their child’s health, and the majority of our patients get better,” Dr. Campbell adds. “It is also rewarding to take care of patient’s reproductive and sexual health needs to ensure that they are able to make healthy, safe and informed choices about their bodies and their relationships.”
“CHOP as a healthcare system cares about each individual child and adolescent and works together with the family unit to achieve the best outcome possible for your child or adolescent,” Dr. Campbell says. And she’s excited to see adolescent health issues getting that same kind of attention from the medical community as a whole. “I envision that adolescent health will be integrated throughout medicine,” she says. “Every subspecialty will understand the critical importance of the adolescent stage of development and how it impacts overall health.”
Dr. Campbell earned her medical degree from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and completed an internship and residency in pediatrics at Golisano Children's Hospital at Strong, Rochester, New York. She continued her training with a fellowship in Adolescent Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. She also holds a Master’s in Public Health from the University of Cincinnati School of Public Health.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Campbell is the director of CHOP’s Adolescent Medicine Outpatient Clinical Services and also serves as an Associate Professor of clinical pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
