Effective, Trauma-Informed Perinatal Care

Dr. Vogel speaks nationally and internationally about birth trauma and the need for trauma awareness in obstetrics and promotes medical “centers of excellence” in providing trauma-informed care for obstetric patients. In the hospital setting, she evaluates quality assurance processes, educates and trains nurses, residents, and medical students, and creates care plans for high-risk obstetric patients including those with prior sexual trauma, opioid tolerance, substance use disorders, and mental health concerns. Dr. Vogel is on the governor’s HEAL PA Taskforce that seeks to make Pennsylvania a trauma-aware state. She received her MD from the University of Pittsburgh and finished her anesthesia training, including a fellowship in obstetric anesthesiology at Stanford University.
