Keith L Leapart

Dr. Leaphart was born and raised in the West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia and completed his public school education at Central High School. His passion to help others led him to a career in medicine. In pursuit of this goal, he attended Hampton University where he received a B.S. degree in Biology. Following graduation, Dr. Leaphart worked for a short stint as a “long-term” substitute in the Philadelphia public school system at George Washington Carver High School for Engineering and Science. In 2003, Dr. Leaphart completed a five-year dual degree DO/MBA program at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and Saint Joseph’s University respectively. His desire to obtain a business degree in conjunction with a medical degree stemmed from a longing to understand the business aspects of medicine. Midway through the five-year program, Dr. Leaphart obtained a position as an administrative intern at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. Although the challenges of the D.O./M.B.A. program were exhausting, Dr. Leaphart showed great resilience and determination while successfully establishing and operating both a commercial cleaning and an event planning business. Dr. Leaphart completed his residency in physical medicine & rehabilitation at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. In 2007 he considered a run for US Congress, but realized through his exploratory process that at this time he could do more to help the City of Philadelphia working to bridge the gap between leaders in the public and private sector. He led this effort as an Executive on Loan from The Lenfest Foundation to the City of Philadelphia assisting with the development and implementation of the City’s ex-offender reintegration strategy. Currently Dr. Leaphart is on staff at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital, and serves as President & CEO of Replica Global, LLC. the parent company for Replica Creative: DESIGN + PRINT.
