Annette Grotheer Biography

Dr. Annette Grotheer, MD, MPH, is a physician, public health innovator, and social entrepreneur whose work focuses on preventive healthcare access in underserved communities. Grotheer is recognized for addressing healthcare disparities and founded The Shop Docs while at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine as part of her Master of Public Health degree.

Grotheer serves as founder and CEO of The Shop Docs, a nonprofit organization that coordinates doctors and medical students to provide health education and screenings in barbershops and beauty salons within minority communities. The Shop Docs introduced hypertension screenings in barbershops to improve health outcomes for African American men. The organization aims to address historic distrust of medical professionals and deliver preventive care in trusted community settings. Grotheer has emphasized that barbershops and salons are effective venues for health education due to the trust placed in their owners and the accessibility of waiting customers.

The Shop Docs has expanded from a local project to a nonprofit with operations in multiple states, including Philadelphia and Paterson, N.J., and has broadened its services to include HIV/AIDS screening. The organization also supports early-career physicians in developing community-based programs and research focused on health equity and access.

In addition to her nonprofit leadership, Grotheer completed a residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and a fellowship in pain medicine at the University of Washington, establishing her expertise in PM&R and pain medicine.

Grotheer's work has been recognized in medicine and public health. She was included in Forbes' "30 Under 30" in the healthcare category, named to The Root's "Most Influential African Americans" list, and honored by the National Minority Quality Forum's "40 Under 40" and Black Health Connect's "40 Under 40." She has also received the Distinguished Public Service, Health Equity and Advocacy Award from the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Grotheer is a frequent speaker on health equity, diversity and inclusion in medicine, and community-based healthcare innovation.
