    Dr. Colvin is a Professor of Pediatrics and the Director of Research for General Academic Pediatrics at Children’s Mercy Kansas City. His research focuses on the intersection of the social determinants of health, child health (especially in children with medical complexity), and policy or interventions to address unmet social needs in the health care setting. His research is funded by the National Institutes of Health and has been published in Health Affairs, Pediatrics, and JAMA Pediatrics. He is frequently invited to speak about innovative programs that address the social determinants of health in the health care setting. He co-founded Children’s Mercy’s Center for Family and Community Connections and the KLS Legal Services Clinic at Children’s Mercy. In addition, he is a member of the Task Force on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome of the American Academy of Pediatrics. He received his undergraduate degree from Johns Hopkins University, his medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia, and his law degree from Columbia University. He completed his pediatric training at the combined program of Boston Children’s Hospital (Harvard University) and Boston Medical Center (Boston University). He continues to care for pediatric patients in the Children’s Mercy primary care clinic, the largest safety net primary care clinic in the Kansas City region.
