For a Healthy, Safe, and Just Ohio
Meet Dr. Duffee
Dr. Duffee is a pediatrician and child psychiatrist who has worked for over thirty years in the Miami Valley to improve the lives of children and families. He is the founding physician of Rocking Horse Community Health Center in Springfield.
He lives with his wife of 42 years in rural Clark County where they tend a few chickens, keep honey bees, and, in the early spring, tap Sugar Maples. They have three children and four grandchildren, one of whom recently graduated from Yellow Springs High School.
