Marietta, Georgia — March 31, 2026 — Kenydee Otto and Amy Campbell are the two 2026 Winter Quarter Clinic Excellence Award winners at Life University (Life U).

“I am truly honored to be the recipient of the Clinic Excellence Award for Winter 2026 Quarter!” shared Kendee Otto.

After graduation, Otto will be joining a multi-location family practice in an underserved area of Northern Indiana as an associate. She will be the primary point of healthcare access for families at every stage of life. One of their offices is directly connected to a birth center, which is especially exciting to Otta, since she is deeply passionate about women’s health, pregnancy and pediatric care.

“I look forward to utilizing my ICPA training in the Webster Technique to support expectant mothers and growing families while serving my community with the tools and foundation Life University has equipped me with,” said Otto. “I’m also so grateful to be heading home to my husband, John, and our cat, Tilly, as we begin this next exciting chapter together.”

Otto also expressed how thankful she is to the Life U faculty, staff and mentors who invested in her, challenged and supported her throughout this journey. She stated that “this recognition would not have been possible without their guidance and encouragement!”

Amy Campbell is a second-generation chiropractic student originally from the sunny beaches of South Africa. She came to the United States after being recruited to row at Yale, where she pursued a pre-med track and was accepted into medical school. However, when COVID hit, she saw how the medical system leaned heavily on medications and vaccinations instead of focusing on lifestyle and immune support, which eventually inspired her to take a more holistic path through Chiropractic.

She enjoyed exploring the many avenues of Chiropractic while attending Life U, including completing a research study through the RISE Scholarship program that assessed the potential efficacy of chiropractic care on gut health. During her time at Life U, she actively participated in multiple clubs and organizations. This instilled in her a value for patient-centered care while at the Center for Health and Optimum Performance (C-HOP), allowing her to tailor her technique to the patients’ needs. After graduation, she plans to join a multi- practitioner wellness center where she can contribute to and promote integrative, collaborative health care.
