About
Dr. Terri Litty, MD, MPH, DipACLM, holds dual board certifications in Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. She brings over 20 years of clinical experience to her work at The Melusi Center for Hope and Healing. For 15 years, she served as Chief Physician Executive at Eskenazi Health, one of Indiana's largest safety-net health systems. She then joined the Logan Institute for Health and Wellness before founding the Melusi Center.
Early in her career, Dr. Litty spent four years in southern Africa treating families living with HIV and tuberculosis. That experience deepened her commitment to underserved populations and sparked her interest in root-cause medicine. Her own health journey brought her to functional medicine personally. Seeking care from Dr. Kevin Logan, she discovered the power of finding the underlying cause of illness, and it reshaped her clinical direction entirely. Dr. Litty holds a Master of Public Health and a Diploma in Lifestyle Medicine. She leads the center's 14-week Lifestyle Coaching group program alongside a certified functional nutritionist. Faith forms the foundation of her practice and her belief that every person carries a unique purpose worth protecting.
