Dr. Katina Health and Wellness Expands Role in Community Health Education and Advocacy
Dr. Katina Health and Wellness, founded and led by Nurse Practitioner Dr. Katina Kennedy, DNP, EdD, APRN, FNPc, PMHNP-BC, has announced an expanded focus on health education and community outreach in 2025. The initiative aims to address health disparities through accessible wellness education and preventive care programs, with a focus on underserved populations in South Florida.
The expanded efforts are aligned with the mission of Dr. Katina’s nonprofit organization, the All About Healthy Living Foundation, which provides culturally responsive health education and encourages the adoption of healthy lifestyle practices.
Enhancing Preventive Health Awareness Through Local Events
The All About Healthy Living Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2016 by Dr. Katina, will host a series of health education events throughout the year. These events are designed to engage both adolescents and adults, covering topics such as nutrition, physical activity, mental wellness, and chronic disease prevention.
Each initiative is tailored to build awareness around the importance of regular health checkups, lifestyle modification, and stress management, with the overarching goal of improving long-term community health outcomes.
In addition to live events, the foundation distributes health literature and educational tools to local schools, churches, and civic organizations, reinforcing its commitment to proactive community health education.
Supporting the Next Generation of Health Professionals
In support of academic advancement in healthcare fields, the All About Healthy Living Foundation continues to provide book scholarships to graduating high school seniors and current nursing students pursuing degrees in health sciences. These scholarships are part of a broader strategy to encourage diversity in healthcare and to support students with a demonstrated commitment to community health advocacy.
Dr. Katina emphasized the foundation’s mission by stating, “We aim to inspire and equip future healthcare professionals with the tools and support they need to succeed—both in education and in service to their communities.”
