💚 | Dr. Amanda Henry
Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician | Healthcare Advocate | Community Educator
Dr. Amanda Henry has spent more than fifteen years practicing medicine with one guiding belief: patients deserve to be treated with dignity, listened to fully, and involved in their own care. As the founder of Internal Medicine & Vitality, she has built a practice rooted in compassion, trust, and time — elements often missing in today’s healthcare system but essential to healing.
Her commitment to equitable, respectful care was shaped early. Growing up in Springfield, Ohio, Dr. Henry was exposed to healthcare through her parents’ work at local hospitals — her father in mental health and her mother at a community hospital. At home, they shared stories of patients who were overlooked or treated differently based on race, gender, or the inability to pay. Those stories stayed with her, planting the seed for a future built on advocacy and change.
Determined to become part of the solution, Dr. Henry pursued medicine with focus and intention. She volunteered in her community, participated in the Upward Bound program at Wittenberg University, and graduated in the top 15% of her class at Springfield North High School. She went on to Ohio University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences (Pre-Medicine) along with an Associate Degree in English — blending science with the art of communication. She completed medical school at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, where patient voices consistently reinforced what mattered most: respect, listening, representation, and partnership.
Those values led Dr. Henry to primary care. After completing her Internal Medicine residency at Michigan State University / Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies, Dr. Henry relocated to Kalamazoo, Michigan. There — and throughout her career in hospital systems and urgent care — patients continued to express the same needs she’d heard from the beginning. Over time, it became clear that the traditional corporate medical model made it difficult to deliver the level of care she believed in.
So she chose a different path.
Today, through Internal Medicine & Vitality, Dr. Henry provides comprehensive adult care — managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and chronic kidney disease; conducting preventive screenings and annual wellness visits; and evaluating acute illnesses. She also serves as a board-certified medical examiner for the Michigan Department of Transportation, ensuring commercial drivers are medically fit to operate safely. Most recently, Dr. Henry expanded her services to include aesthetics and vitality care, recognizing that health is both physical and personal.
Outside the exam room, Dr. Henry remains deeply engaged in the community — partnering with schools and churches to educate and empower people around their health. She believes informed patients are stronger patients and that education is one of the most powerful tools in medicine.
When she’s not working, Dr. Henry enjoys cooking, reading, gardening, traveling, and staying connected through Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. — grounding herself in balance, service, and sisterhood.
Dr. Amanda Henry isn’t just practicing medicine. She’s restoring what healthcare should feel like — personal, respectful, and human.
