The KEY Collective Welcomes Dr. Jennifer Jones to Its Board of Directors
Exeter, NH- The KEY Collective is thrilled to welcome Dr. Jennifer Jones to the Board of Directors.
Dr. Jones is a well-known and deeply respected local pediatrician who has been serving families in the Seacoast area for the past 17 years. After earning her undergraduate degree from Harvard University and her medical degree from Yale University, she completed her pediatric residency at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center before joining Core Pediatrics in Exeter in 2008. She has practiced out of the Epping location since 2013. In 2021, she became certified by the American College of Obesity Medicine and began working closely with local kids, teens, and young adults to help manage obesity and improve metabolic health. Today, half of her clinical work focuses on this growing area of need.
Beyond her medical practice, Dr. Jones is an active member of the community. She has served as camp physician for YMCA Camp Lincoln, sits on the Board of The Friends of New Hampshire Drug Courts, and recently completed a term as an elected member of the Brentwood Select Board. She lives in Brentwood with her husband Nate, their two teenagers, and two cats.
Dr. Jones and her family have supported The KEY Collective for many years—most notably raising funds for the organization at their annual Fourth of July party. Her passion for youth well-being and access to opportunities makes her a natural fit for KEY Collective’s mission.
“My work as a pediatrician allows me to see firsthand how sports and out-of-school activities enhance the physical and mental health of kids and teens,” said Dr. Jones. “I'm thrilled to join The KEY Collective Board and look forward to supporting them in their mission to help more kids access these activities.”
Kristyn LaFleur, Founder & Executive Director of The KEY Collective, shared her excitement. “Jenn has already been an integral part of our collective through her support and advocacy for youth in the Seacoast. Her experience as a pediatrician gives the organization a valuable perspective on the real needs of kids and families in our community. We’re so grateful to have her on our Board.”
