Daisey Dowell
Dr. Daisey Dowell specializes in Pediatrics for Lawndale Christian Health Center on Chicago's Westside. In addition to serving as a domestic medical missionary at Lawndale, she also serves as a foreign medical missionary to Haiti as part of El Shaddai Ministry’s, “Haiti Orphan Project” -- where she serves along with other medical and nonmedical personnel to bring medical care along with the Gospel, to orphanages and their surrounding communities in the more remote areas of Haiti. As a member of the Board of Directors for the Ibi People’s Clinic in Nigeria, Africa, she has been actively involved in the development and building of a clinic for their village. She was a Chicago Public School teacher for several years before entering medical school. God opened the door for her to become a physician 20 years after He called her to minister through medicine.
Locally, she serves on the board of directors and is actively involved with the founding of The Field School, a multicultural Christian elementary school in a primarily African American, low income community on the west side of Chicago. She has also served as volunteer medical consultant to a community healthcare facility, providing counsel in order to help improve their delivery of services, and access to medical care for the underserved residents in the Austin community on the Westside of Chicago where she lived for over 30 years.
