\"\"<\/a>We are pleased to introduce Dr. Megan\u00a0Deyarmond, the newest member of the obstetrics and gynecology team at Flushing Hospital Medical Center.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Deyarmond was born and raised in Colorado, where she attended the University of Denver for her undergraduate degree. She then moved to Washington, D.C., where she attended Georgetown University School of Medicine for her medical degree, and later completed her residency at Inova Fairfax Medical Center in nearby Virginia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Deyarmond always wanted to pursue a career in medicine, but as a veterinarian. It wasn\u2019t until she was 10 years old that her grandfather, who was not a physician but knew she had an interest in medicine, started to expose her to the work that Doctors Without Borders was doing. This exposure made her want to work with the organization someday and prompted her to change her career plan from veterinary medicine to human medicine. \u201cI have since had an interest in global health and addressing the barriers to care that exist in the healthcare system. I love the human aspect of medicine and feel like each interaction with providers, staff, patients, etc. presents such a unique opportunity to connect and learn\u201d, she explained. This thought process is why she chose obstetrics and gynecology as her specialty. \u201cI felt that OBGYN had the best mix of continuity of patient care, surgical experiences, etc. I also like the fact that you have the opportunity to follow a patient throughout different periods of their life\u201d, she added. As an OBGYN, Dr. Deyarmond helps her patients with preconception counseling, pregnancy, routine gynecological care, contraception, and treats conditions such as abnormal uterine bleeding. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although she wasn\u2019t born or raised in Queens, Dr. Deyarmond and her partner always planned to eventually move to New York because of the diversity of individuals, ideas, and cultures that exist here, especially in Queens, more than anywhere else. \u201cWhen I was interviewing for jobs, I was looking for a place where the emphasis was on providing equitable, quality care that meets individual patient needs, understanding that every patient comes from a different background and situation. I wanted a place where the diversity of the community was celebrated and where every effort was made to ensure that each patient has a positive and supportive interaction with the healthcare system\u201d, she said. This sentiment is what drew her to the community, specifically Flushing Hospital. She is excited to join the Flushing Hospital team and practice in the community and work with patients from diverse backgrounds, and learn how to best support them as they navigate the healthcare system. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Flushing Hospital\u2019s emphasis on providing the highest quality of care to all patients is important to Dr. Deyarmond. \u201cI think providing the highest quality of care comes from really getting to know the people in the community and understanding what is important to them when interacting with healthcare providers (e.g., what makes them feel more comfortable and supported). Dr. Deyarmond hopes to be a provider who listens to and learns from patients and the community regarding how to not only treat their medical needs, but also to understand how to support them in navigating and engaging with the healthcare system. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
