Bio
Kellie Steele, MD, MPH (she/her/hers) joined DFMCH as a resident in 2024. For Kellie, to practice family medicine is to treat patients within the clinic, engage with communities, and address health disparities systematically. Kellie is from Metamora, IL and she earned her bachelor’s degree in biology, chemistry, and Spanish from Greenville University in Greenville, IL. After graduation, she spent a year in the Dominican Republic doing community health work in the areas surrounding Jarabacoa. This work included hosting mobile rural primary care clinics, conducting home visits, and leading health education talks at local schools. Kellie then returned to Illinois and earned her medical degree and her master’s in public health from Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. While in Chicago, she participated in an interprofessional collaborative that was formed to help mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on the local underserved community. She also was involved in a local food pantry; by helping with set-up and food distribution, she found joy in connecting with clients through shared recipes. Kellie is dedicated to providing broad spectrum care and she has specific interests in public health and community engagement, rural medicine, women’s health, obstetrics, and gender-affirming care. Outside of the clinic, Kellie enjoys hiking, backpacking, camping, reading, and knitting.
