Janeth Ceballos Osorio, MD, FAAP
“Hola Amigos y Vecinos. I am a physician, an educator, a Hispanic woman, an immigrant. I was born and raised in Colombia, South America. I went to Medical School and completed a residency training in Family Medicine at Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia, and residency training in Pediatrics at University of Kentucky here in Lexington. I have been your neighbor for the last 15 years.
I am passionate about children and families, and have dedicated my professional life to work for them. As Pediatrician here in town, I take care of mostly immigrant and Hispanic children and their families at Clinica Amiga. I do monthly health education Podcasts in Spanish with RadioLex and a parent support group in Spanish for Hispanic/Latinx families with children with Special Health Care Needs, called Un Abrazo Amigo. I also do advocacy work for our immigrant families as co-chair of the Immigrant Child Health Task Force at the KY Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. I am proud to be an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Kentucky, where I can contribute with educating our future healthcare providers.
