Shana Fogarty, MD

Practice Location

Dr. Shana Fogerty has been in practice for more than 20 years and has a broad range of experience. She is board certified in both Family Medicine and Hospice and Palliative Medicine.

Dr. Fogarty has always had a special interest in end-of-life care. She learned early on in her career how important it is to be comfortable having difficult conversations with patients. She became a hospice physician in 2011 and achieved board certification in 2012.

Additionally, she has 15 years’ experience as an inpatient medicine physician. More recently, she gained experience in post-acute telemedicine, which focuses on a community’s most vulnerable members in skilled nursing facilities and those who are homebound. She has seen how much these areas of medicine intersect and is able to do a better job caring for patients by keeping her knowledge base broad.

In her free time, Dr. Fogarty enjoys travel, indoor gardening, recreational reading and spending time with her family.
