Dr Katherine J Sullivan
Dr Katherine J Sullivan is the Founder and CEO of 360 Wellness Solutions. Dr Sullivan earned a PhD in movement science in 1998 from the University of Southern California (USC) Los Angeles, California. From 1998 – 2001, Dr Sullivan was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of California, Los Angeles in the Department of Psychology and at the Integrative Center for Neural Repair (ICNR) at the UCLA Brain Research Institute.
Dr Sullivan was a member of the USC faculty in the Division of Biokinesiology & Physical Therapy at the Ostrow School of Dentistry from 2001 – 2013. During her academic career she was Co-Principal Investigator of the Locomotor Experience Applied Post Stroke Trial (LEAPS) LEAPS Clinical Trial funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research.
Dr Sullivan left USC in 2013 to establish MetroHealth Station (MHS), an interprofessional clinical practice at the corner of Jefferson Ave & Crenshaw Blvd in South Los Angeles, zip code 90018. During home visits with her students, Dr Sullivan began to understand how the Social Determinants of Health, poverty, food, housing, and job insecurity are not compatible with good health.
Healthcare reform requires a collaboration between public health officials, social services agencies, and non-profits, led by the licensed healthcare professionals working at the top of our education, training, and experience in partnership with health plans to create a bridge between science and practice not a wall.

Innovation in Community Family Health
Community members will have a shared community space; a healthcare facility in YOUR neighborhood. Member physicians, nurse practitioners, dentists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech
pathologists, and psychologists can join our global telehealth network or local clinicians can offer health services, community clinics and health education technology training sessions in local community centers. 360 Wellness Family Health Facilities are shared spaces so community members receive the healthcare they need with no barriers or delays at a cost they can afford.
We believe that the world is a global community where the health of our natural and human resources is the greatest gift we can give ourselves and each other.
