Ed Keohane

Ed is a dad of two who knows how important it is to have clear answers when it matters most.

When his kids were born, Ed read the books, searched the internet, and showed up to pediatrician visits with long lists of questions. He wanted to feel prepared for the most important job of his life. And like many parents, he still felt overwhelmed.

One appointment changed everything. A pediatrician answered question after question with calm, practical clarity built from years of experience. It was exactly what he needed. But by the time he reached the parking lot, he realized he had already forgotten half of it.

His wife laughed. “We should have recorded that.

”That moment became the spark for uplitMD.

Ed’s career spans leadership roles across network television, healthcare, and digital platforms, where he worked alongside journalists, physicians, patients, and public figures to create content rooted in real expertise and real-world experience. Along the way, he saw firsthand how much people value trusted experts who can make complex information clear. That perspective shaped the way uplitMD was built.

Today, uplitMD connects parents with practicing pediatricians who share what matters most in a format that fits real life.

Because knowing more should mean worrying less.
