Assistant Professor
Drexel University
Philadelphia, PA, United States

Laura A. Baehr is an Assistant Professor in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences at Drexel University. She is a clinician-scientist accelerating empowerment, access and equity in community-based physical activity programs for people with disabilities and chronic health conditions. Baehr is informed by her interdisciplinary trainings in rehabilitation science, physical therapy and dance to center evidence-based interventions on the lived experience of the individual. Laura earned her PhD in Health and Rehabilitation Science from Drexel University, Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from Temple University and dual Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Dance and Neuroscience from Muhlenberg College.

Laura A. Baehr directs the PACEE Lab (physical activity, access, community, equity, empowerment) at Drexel University. The PACEE Lab leverages community-engaged practices, mixed methodology, digital health and social networking principles to maximize the health and quality of life of adults living with disabilities and chronic health conditions through community-based physical activity. The PACEE Lab works to achieve this goal through multiple pillars including the assessment of personal factors that sustain physical activity behavior, examination of intersectional social determinants influencing health and physical activity, development and evaluation of group exercise interventions and the measurement of scale and capacity building to move evidence-based physical activity programs from lab to the community.
