Daniella Nana Owusuwaah, DO

I’m constantly inspired by how resilient kids are. I believe every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy and supported. My philosophy is that early guidance, education and encouragement can have a lifelong impact. Moreover, working with kids and families allows me to empower them to overcome challenges and celebrate milestones along the way.

I’m board certified in pediatrics. I hold basic life support (BLS) and pediatric advanced life support (PALS) certifications.

I chose to practice pediatrics because the field challenges me to think creatively, communicate clearly with both children and parents and provide care to address medical, emotional and social needs. I see each visit as an opportunity to influence a patient’s lifelong health. Celebrating small victories, whether it’s a child overcoming a chronic condition or a family gaining confidence in their care, reminds me every day why I chose this specialty.

I received my degree in osteopathic medicine at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. I completed residency in pediatrics at Advocate Christ Medical Center.

Outside of work, I seek activities that push me out of my comfort zone and help me grow. I especially love exploring new places through travel and adventurous cultural experiences. To relax, I enjoy reading popular fiction, caring for houseplants and cooking with new recipes for family and friends.
