Sarasota Memorial Health Care System has welcomed back Dr. Kathryn Gard, a new OB-GYN physician and former FSU medical student. Gard returns to SMH’s First Physicians Group Obstetrics and Gynecology practice, joining Drs. Ruth Dyal, Kelly Hamel, Neil Pollack, Kristen Shepherd, Michael Shroder and Greg Towsley in the practice where she completed her OB-GYN rotation during medical school five years earlier. After earning her medical degree at Florida State University College of Medicine’s Sarasota campus, Gard completed a four-year residency in obstetrics and gynecology in June 2017 at George Washington University in Washington, DC. A junior fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and member of the American Medical Association, Gard is nationally certified in electronic fetal monitoring and neonatal resuscitation and will provide a full spectrum of women’s reproductive and gynecological care at the FPG practice located at 1921 Waldemere St.
