DOROTHY OGUNDU
 Board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Dorothy Ogundu is a fierce and tireless advocate for families, especially young women and single mothers. Dr. Ogundu maintains a pluralistic-based
medical and healthcare practice out of two respective locations in Holliswood, Queens, the Aki Life
Health Centers I and II.
She is also the founder of the non-profit organization AngelDocs Inc., a center that provides gynecological and holistic health care to area women. Her practice is rooted in translating science into sound clinical procedures while incorporating time-tested, common-sense applications to health and wellness from all corners of the world. Dr. Ogundu received her Bachelor
of Science and Master of Arts degrees in Clinical Psychology from Loyola University in Chicago and
her medical degree from Chicago Medical School. Internationally, Dr. Ogundu collaborates with
health ministries in India and sub-Saharan Africa in research and development of an innovative
healthcare model, “Save a Woman Save a Nation” (SAWSAN) to address the unique health needs of women in rural regions.
Locally and internationally she advocates health literacy as the cornerstone of the human right to what she refers to as “health as a birthright.” Under her leadership AngelDocs has embarked upon making the public aware of the health implications and financial consequences of remaining ignorant of G6PD deficiency. This is accomplished through a series of public lectures, health fairs, workshops and radio and television media. Dr. Ogundu is host to “Health Matterz,” a health program on Public Television. She is chairperson of the Board of Directors for the Southern Queens Park Association-New York, is a member of the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation and is on the Advisory Board to the President of York College of the City University of New York.
