Neonatologist Kelly Cason Driver, D.O., cares for infants in Clarke NICU at Moore Regional Hospital.
Driver earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2012 and completed a pediatrics residency at the University of South Florida College of Medicine. She also completed a Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship at the University of South Florida.
Driver said she is excited to join FirstHealth’s Women & Children team and looks forward to caring for the system’s tiniest patients.
“I love fetal and neonatal physiology. The complicated steps that lead to the healthy development and birth of a newborn are fascinating,” Driver said.
“I love caring for this special population because of their resilience. It amazes me how much these babies can overcome. I also love working with the families. Typically, families do not expect to have to be in the NICU, and it gives me meaning and purpose to be able to help support them during a time of such stress and unknown.”
Driver said she tries to approach each patient with a whole-body approach. “Family-centered care is so important for the best outcomes for the patient,” she said.
