William Murphy, D.O.

Executive Director and Chair of the Board

William is Board Certified in Family Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulation Therapy. He completed his degree in Osteopathic Medicine at Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine with honors and then excelled in his residency training at St. Claire Regional Medical Center in Morehead, KY. Since completing residency he has worked in Eastern Kentucky in the outpatient setting - currently at Primary Plus - Ashland.

He admits that his interests are wide and varied - from nutrition to Harry Potter, knitting and much more. However, after you meet him, you quickly realize this is clearly due to his enormous love for life.

He and his wife started William + Kristen, LLC to provide a platform from which they could share their passions and skills for photography, laser cutting, engraving and other creative avenues. He is also the creator and Co-host of the podcast, “A Doctor and a Lawyer walk into a bar…”. Linking back into his interest in nutrition, he is a certified coach in The FASTer way to Fat Loss.

When asked why he chose to be part of livableYOU, William says, “I care deeply about Appalachia. I joined livableYOU partly because this fills a need in my own practice, but more importantly because of Kelli. I have known her for over a decade now and know that this was born out of an earnest desire to help people and change a region for the better.”
