Kiplee Bell, MD, PA

Toggle speaker biography

Kiplee Bell MD, PA, is a practicing physician, international keynote speaker, author, and founder of a multi-brand healthcare enterprise built at the intersection of clinical medicine, caregiving, and care leadership. She is the Founder and CEO of Impactful Care®, an innovative primary care and house-call practice, and the companion brands Impactful Caregiving® and Impactful Concierge, which together serve older adults, medically complex patients, and the caregivers who stand beside them.

 

Dr. Bell practices in parallel across two clinical environments rarely held by one clinician: emergency medicine within a major regional health system and longitudinal primary care in her own practice. That dual vantage point - seeing both the decisions primary care clinicians make for older adults, and the acute needs that surface in the emergency department - shape every piece of clinical education she delivers. Her teaching is not theoretical. It is drawn from what happens at 3:00 AM in the ED and the office visit that took place at 3:00 PM. 

 

She is the host of CAREPOD, a podcast focusing on the care economy, caregiving, and clinical leadership, and the author of The Work of My Mother's Hands: A Caregiver's Journey, a widely read book that reframes caregiving to shift the experience away from that of a private burden. Additionally, Dr. Bell is the founder of the philanthropic entity, Kevin John McAleese Foundation, and the architect of CareCab®, a medical-model nonprofit transport initiative serving older adults and children.
