Biography
Dr. Karen Binns-Loveman originally hails from St. Petersburg, FL. She majored in biology and earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia in 1993. She attended the University of Miami School of Medicine and earned her MD in 1997. She returned to Virginia for her pediatric internship and residency at the Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA. Following residency, she worked for a year in the NICU at St. Mary’s Hospital in Richmond, VA. Dr. Binns-Loveman pursued her fellowship training the Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at Brenner’s Children’s Hospital/Baptist Medical Center at Wake Forrest University in Winston-Salem, NC. After completing her fellowship in 2004, Dr. Binns-Loveman moved to Roanoke, VA where she cares for sick and critically ill infants. Over the years, she has worked on various committees to help improve outcomes for our most fragile patients. Her work includes quality improvement projects relating to respiratory care of preterm infants, nutritional support of preterm infants, and developmental care of preterm infants. When not in the NICU, she enjoys spending time with her husband and four children. She stays active with her kids, and occasionally gets to enjoy all things arts and crafts when she has some quiet, alone time.
