Lynette Charity, MD

Lynette Charity, MD, is a retired Board-Certified Anesthesiologist with over 40 years of experience “putting people to sleep.” She’s also a keynote speaker, humorist and author. In aspiring to become a doctor, she met many dream smashers; people who wanted to “Squish! Squash! STOMP!” on her dream. She shares her journey in her memoir, “Escape Plan: Dreaming My Way Out of the Projects”, available on Amazon.

As a young girl growing up in the segregated South, she was once told “No Medical School is gonna accept a Colored girl.” She persevered and now wants to “wake people UP” to go after THEIR dreams through sharing her story of overcoming obstacles of racial bias, gender bias and age bias. Now a septuagenarian, she has hit the Trifecta being African-American, female AND on Medicare.

Dr. Charity graduated with honors from Chatham College for Women in Pittsburgh, PA, and earned her medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine. She has practiced nationally, internationally and as a U.S. Army doctor, achieving the rank of Lt. Colonel.

She speaks to various groups in her capacity as a medical expert in the field of Anesthesiology and her personal struggle with depression, burnout and suicide.
