Dr. Christina Robinson has taken a leadership role in providing health care directly to children in Fort Worth’s most underserved communities. As the medical director of the new UNTHSC Pediatric Mobile Clinic, she is helping provide high-quality health care at no cost to families in a 40-foot “doctor’s office on wheels” that offers wellness visits, physicals, episodic visits, immunizations, screening, and laboratory testing. The overall goal of her work is to improve the health and wellbeing of underserved patient populations and their communities. As a clinician, she has translated the discoveries and recommendations of the scientific community into education and guidance for patients and families. However, with these endeavors Dr. Robinson hopes to transition using her clinical perspective to investigate specific solutions for populations facing disparities and barriers to access healthcare. She has served as preceptor for student research in the fields of epidemiology, maternal and child public health, nursing, and medicine. She has developed teams who have defined the underserved patient population of Fort Worth with community needs assessments, developed screening tools for adverse child experiences, initiated projects to increase vaccine compliance amongst area schools, and completed parental lifestyle medicine education programs to address obesity.

As a native of Fort Worth, Dr. Robinson is a product of one of the neighborhoods now served by the mobile clinic. Dr. Robinson feels honored to be able to return to her hometown to contribute to solutions for a healthier community. She is the mother to one son and one daughter and wife of a loving husband who serves as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
