Hello, I'm Heather

Certified Nurse Midwife with nearly two decades of experience in complex gynecologic and reproductive health care.

Heather Hogan is a Certified Nurse Midwife with nearly 20 years of experience providing comprehensive, evidence-based care across the reproductive lifespan. She is the Co-Founder and Clinical Director of Haven Health, where she leads clinical scope, protocols, and quality standards while continuing to care directly for patients through both in-person and telehealth visits.

Her clinical background spans independent practice, hospital-based care, high-risk pregnancy management, emergency obstetrics, and academic teaching. Heather is known for combining deep clinical expertise with a thoughtful, patient-centered approach—particularly in situations that require careful counseling, nuanced decision-making, and long-term health planning.

Clinical Background & Experience

Heather brings nearly two decades of clinical experience across outpatient, hospital-based, emergency, and high-risk care settings. Her background spans the full reproductive lifespan, with particular depth in complex gynecologic care, postpartum risk management, and care coordination for medically complicated pregnancies.

She has extensive experience providing comprehensive gynecologic care, including contraception management, STI evaluation and treatment, abnormal uterine bleeding workup, PCOS management, peri- and menopausal care, and gender-affirming services. Her work is grounded in evidence-based practice and careful clinical judgment, particularly in situations that require nuanced counseling and individualized care planning.

In addition to outpatient care, Heather has significant experience managing high-risk and medically complex pregnancies, including Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes. She has worked closely with multidisciplinary teams to interpret laboratory data, glucose monitoring, and imaging, and to support patients through pregnancy and the postpartum period with a focus on long-term cardiometabolic health.

Earlier in her career, Heather practiced in both freestanding and hospital-based settings and provided emergency care for pregnant patients from early pregnancy through the postpartum period. This experience informs her current approach to gynecologic and postpartum care, where early recognition of risk and thoughtful follow-up are central to her practice.

She has also served in clinical leadership and teaching roles, contributing to protocol development, clinician education, and quality initiatives designed to improve patient outcomes and care delivery.

Education & Credentials

Heather holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her doctoral capstone focused on improving access to postpartum contraception through immediate placement of etonogestrel implants.

She earned her Master of Science in Nursing (Midwifery) from Frontier Nursing University and her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from UNC Greensboro. She has also completed formal training in nursing education and educator development.

Heather maintains Certified Nurse Midwife licensure with independent practice authority and holds multi-state licensure across several states.

Leadership, Teaching & Professional Work

Heather has served as a Nexplanon Insertion Trainer for Organon Pharmaceuticals since 2020, providing clinical education on implant insertion and removal.

She also played a central role in the Cone Health Doula Project, helping develop credentialing pathways for doulas, creating training programs, and establishing a volunteer doula service for high-risk patients through community partnerships.

Her work has been recognized through peer-reviewed poster presentations and professional awards, including induction into Sigma Theta Tau, the nursing honor society.

Heather believes reproductive and gynecologic care should be clinically rigorous, inclusive, and grounded in respect for patient autonomy. Through Haven Health, she is focused on building care models that prioritize access, continuity, and thoughtful decision-making at every stage of life.
