Moira A. Shanahan, MD

As the staff doctor in charge of caring for my patients during their birth, my primary goals are to provide the best outcome for mothers and their babies, and to help women and their families have a sense of accomplishment as a result of the birth process.

I work with my patients and their families to make the birth experience meet their expectations as much as possible. Having family support during maternity care is essential. I try to make sure that partners and family members know how much we need them to care for and advocate for mom.

I feel lucky to be part of such an intimate moment in a family’s life and to have the opportunity to make a substantial difference in the health of women.
