Biography
I am a professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Director of Health Promotion and Healthcare Parity at the Nisonger Center. I specialize in advancing health equity for individuals with disabilities, particularly those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
My patients and colleagues can rely on me for compassionate, evidence-based care and advocacy that prioritizes inclusion, dignity, and access. I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of experts to develop and implement programs that improve health outcomes and reduce disparities for people with disabilities.
In addition to my clinical and leadership responsibilities, I am deeply committed to education and research. I direct a federally funded rehabilitation research and training center focused on mental health in adults with intellectual disabilities and co-direct the Ohio Disability and Health Program, a statewide initiative supported by the CDC. I also lead efforts to integrate disability training into healthcare education to better prepare providers to deliver inclusive care.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 11/3/2025, Dr. Havercamp has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
