Nadine Jacqueline Burke Harris (born 1975, Vancouver, Canada[2]) is an American pediatrician.[1] She is known for linking adverse childhood experiences and toxic stress with harmful effects to health later on in life.[3] She is an advisory council member for Hillary Rodham Clinton's Clinton Foundation's Too Small to Fail campaign,[4] and the Founder and chief executive officer of the Center for Youth Wellness.[1][5] Hailed as a pioneer in the treatment of toxic stress,[5] her work has been featured in Paul Tough's book How Children Succeed.[6]

Education

Burke Harris received her medical degree from the University of California, Davis.[7] Following her master's degree in public health from Harvard,[8] she went on to earn her residency at Stanford in pediatrics.[9]

Her graduate studies were supported by The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans.

Early career

In 2005, Burke Harris joined the California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) staff, tasked with the goal of developing programs to end health disparities in San Francisco.[10] While at Harvard, Burke Harris identified access to health care as a key component of the health disparity in San Francisco.[11] In 2007, with support from CPMC, she became the founding physician of the Bayview Child Health Center and medical director of the new clinic.[5][11]

Career

In 2008, after reading "The Relationship of Adverse Childhood Experiences to Adult Health: Turning Gold Into Lead," by Vincent J. Felitti, Burke Harris realized that her patients' traumatic experiences were having a negative impact on their present and future health.[11]

In 2011, she was appointed by the American Academy of Pediatrics to the Project Advisory Committee for the Resilience Project.[12]

From 2010 to 2012, Burke Harris, along with colleagues Daniel Lurie from Tipping Point Foundation, Kamala Harris, Victor G. Carrion, Lenore Anderson, Lisa Pritzker and Katie Albright, founded the Adverse Childhood Experiences project in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood in San Francisco. From this effort, the Center for Youth Wellness was created in 2012 to createg a clinical model that recognizes the impact of adverse experiences on health and effectively treats toxic stress in children. The multidisciplinary approach focuses on preventing and undoing the chemical, physiological and neurodevelopmental results of ACEs. The Center integrates primary health care, mental health and wellness, research, policy, education, and community and family support services to children and families.[5][11]

In 2014, she was selected a speaker at a Tedtalks event titled TedMed in San Francisco. Her talk, "How Childhood Trauma Affects Health Across a Lifetime", has reached over 1.5 million viewers on Tedtalks.com.[13]
