In South Florida, Dr. Katina Kennedy, DNP, EdD, APRN, FNPc, PMHNP-BC engages with diverse groups, ranging from adults to pre-teens and teens, in community spaces. While the topic is health and lifestyle, her approach is far from a traditional classroom lecture. Candid, warm, and deeply knowledgeable, she connects with the audience not just as a clinician, but as someone who truly understands their challenges. Whether she’s appearing on local television or leading health sessions for nonprofit organisations, Dr. Katina’s mission remains clear: to make health education accessible, honest, and grounded in lived experience.
A Foundation in Care
Dr. Katina Kennedy is a dual-certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner with years of experience in both mental and primary care. Her career began with a commitment to underserved communities and grew into something larger—an educational movement anchored in her practice and media presence. From early on, she recognized a gap between medical knowledge and the everyday experiences of patients, especially women and teens navigating health concerns that often go unaddressed.
From Practitioner to Public Educator
In 2020, Dr. Katina founded Dr. Katina Health and Wellness, a Broward County–based medical practice focused on whole-person care. In 2016, she launched the All About Healthy Living Foundation (AAHLF)—a nonprofit organization devoted to health promotion through interactive education and community outreach.
AAHLF emphasizes prevention and lifestyle as pathways to improved well-being. Through health parties, workshops, and events, the foundation engages teens and adults alike, helping them understand how physical activity, nutrition, and mental balance intersect in meaningful ways.
Building a Platform for Access
Over the years, Dr. Katina’s educational outreach has expanded beyond her practice. She has been featured on television networks including CBS News, NBC 6 and the nationally syndicated TV One show Sister Circle Live. On radio, she regularly contributed to the “Healthy Ever After” segment with Erica Campbell, offering guidance on physical and emotional health topics.
Her ability to communicate complex ideas in clear, culturally relevant language has resonated with a wide audience. This accessibility—not just as a medical professional, but as an educator and community advocate—is what defines her public voice.
Education, Equity, and Empowerment
What sets Dr. Katina apart is her insistence on addressing health holistically. She doesn’t limit her care to what happens in a clinic. Her foundation awards scholarships to high school seniorsand nursing students pursuing careers in healthcare, and her educational outreach includes publications aimed at making wellness knowledge more widely available.
The All About Healthy Living Foundationemphasizes not only staying physically active and eating well but also managing chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and stress through lifestyle changes. These programs are not one-size-fits-all—they are tailored to meet people where they are, especially in communities where health resources may be limited.
A Responsible Voice in Health Media
While much of her public recognition comes from media features, Dr. Katina’s credibility is rooted in her medical training and years of hands-on clinical experience. Her work bridges the gap between healthcare systems and the broader public—bringing science-based, accessible education into conversations that affect everyday lives.
By blending academic rigor with real-world insight, she has become a trusted voice for those seeking clarity on issues ranging from stress management to general health literacy.
