Elisabeth A. McKeen, MD, FACP

Dr. Elisabeth McKeen is a board-certified oncologist for Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute in Palm Beach county. She concentrates her practice on breast cancer and cancer genetics, and actively participates in clinical trials.

Dr. McKeen has helped pioneer the field of genetics, which is now instrumental in identifying therapies that can target specific mutations in a patient’s cancer. These exciting advancements are giving patients greater independence with shorter, more effective treatments and moving even stage 4 cancers closer to being cured.

A much-sought-after lecturer, Dr. McKeen is recognized nationally for her clinical work and for her extensive community service. She is a recipient of U.S. Representative Robert Wexler’s Local Legend of Medicine Congressional Award, a past Honorary Chair of the South Florida Affiliate of Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and an honoree of the Pink is Powerful luncheon. She is also a gubernatorial appointee to the Florida Breast Cancer Task Force.

After receiving her medical degree from Albany Medical College in Albany, New York, Dr. McKeen completed Internal Medicine residency training at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia.
