Dr. Anne Davenport, PT, DPT, GCS is a Core Faculty member in the Oregon Tech/Oregon Health & Science University Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program, where she teaches across the acute care, geriatrics, and professional formation curriculum and leads multiple community-embedded and experiential learning initiatives.

Dr. Davenport maintains clinical practice as a PRN acute care physical therapist at Sky Lakes Medical Center and serves as Program Manager for Health Promotion Services at the Klamath Basin Senior Citizens’ Center, where she oversees evidence-informed physical activity, falls prevention, and wellness programming.
Her research focuses on functional outcomes and safety for older adults and medically complex patients, implementation of progressive mobility across care settings, and evidence-informed models of health professional education. Current projects include studies of progressive mobility protocols, community-based falls prevention programs (Better Bones & Balance and Walk With Ease), and medical improv as a research-based approach to professional communication and emotional intelligence. She collaborates with investigators at Duke University, Kaiser Permanente, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the St. Luke’s Health System, Northwestern University, and the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Dr. Davenport has published in Experimental Gerontology, GeriNotes, and Archives of Rehabilitation Research and Clinical Translation, including the multi-site cohort study “Relationship of Age and Mobility Levels During Physical Rehabilitation With Clinical Outcomes in Critical Illness.” She was a 2022–2023 Fellow of findhelp.org’s national Community Information Exchange, where she developed an “Age Well Pathway” to improve older adults’ access to community resources in the Klamath Basin. She is a 2025–2026 Rural Population Health Incubator grant awardee through the Oregon Office of Rural Health, strengthening rural population health across the lifespan by embedding Doctor of Physical Therapy students in community-based physical activity programs.
Outside of teaching, research, and community engagement, she enjoys painting, cooking plant-based meals, trail running, and training for ultramarathons.
