PORTLAND, OREGON (January 25, 2022) – Albertina Kerr is pleased to announce the  promotion of Naomi Fishman, M.D., to Medical Director of its Children’s Mental Health Services, beginning February 1, 2022.  
Dr. Fishman, a child and adolescent and adult psychiatrist, has been working at Kerr’s Crisis  Psychiatric Care (Subacute) program and Children’s Behavioral Services for more than five  years. Board certified in both Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Adult Psychiatry, she has  provided coverage at many organizations throughout Oregon.

In her new role, Dr. Fishman will oversee and coordinate Kerr’s mental health programs for  youth and children. She will also represent Kerr in various community forums, develop medical  policies, carry a small case load, and provide absence and vacation coverage for other  psychiatrists. 
“Dr. Fishman’s talent in collaborating with others combined with her deep organizational  knowledge and passion for the client/family care experience makes her well-suited to further our  efforts,” said Derrick Perry, Chief Program Officer at Kerr.  
Dr. Fishman completed both a general psychiatry residency and a child and adolescent  psychiatry fellowship, where she was Chief Fellow her second year, at Oregon Health &  Sciences University (OHSU) in 2014 and 2016, respectively. “I am thrilled to have this  opportunity to continue serving youth and families in a clinical capacity, and also to help  strengthen Kerr’s current programs and build new ones,” she said.
