Hannah Stewart, DO'17
Dr. Hannah Stewart is a native of the Appalachian Mountains of Southwest Virginia. She attended Appalachian State University from 2009-2013 as a pre-med majoring in psychiatry. She received her osteopathic medical degree from LMU-DCOM in 2017. She completed her internal medicine residency in Morganton, North Carolina, where she found her passion and desire to care from the underserved older adult population. She completed fellowship training in geriatrics at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, where she experienced many different care settings for older adults and the need for education regarding this population. She became an assistant professor of medicine at Vanderbilt where she worked directly in the Acute Care of the Elderly Unit. During that time, she worked directly with resident doctors, medical students, pharmacy students, and nursing students teaching geriatric principles. More recently she returned to the place she calls home working as a hospitalist in North Carolina, where she has witnessed the need for geriatric care and education in this region. She is excited to help make the hospital more age friendly, teach students about geriatric care, and work on more community involvement.
Dr. Stewart has no financial relationships to disclose.
