Meet Kelly Baughman

OTD, OTR/L

Kelly is from Geneva, IL and currently resides in Bettendorf, IA. Kelly received her undergraduate degree in Exercise Science and her Doctorate of Occupational Therapy degree from St. Ambrose University. Outside of work she enjoys competing in crossfit, trying new coffee shops, enjoying the outdoors, and spending time with family and friends.

Why did you become an Occupational Therapist?
I became an Occupational Therapist because an amazing OT once helped me find my voice again - literally. After overcoming vocal cord dysfunction in high school and being able to swim and run competitively again, I discovered not only healing, but a purpose. What once felt like my biggest challenge became the reason I chose this path. Now, I get to help other find their voice, just like someone once helped me find mine. It is my passion to empower others and help them feel confident in their own bodies so they can get back to doing what they love!

What are you involved with in your community?
I teach pelvic floor workshops at local gyms and events to educate and bring my community together around the topic of pelvic health, creating a safe space for learning, support, and advocacy.

"I was very pleased with all of my care - pre op & post op. You did a wonderful job preparing me for surgery and getting me healed after."

"Excellent doesn't give the staff enough credit to how hard they work for their patient. All of the staff works very hard to give you extra help as each person needs."
