Newsroom@DominionPost.com 

The Mon Health OBGYN team in Morgantown and Fairmont announced the addition of Sarah Highlander, CNM, WHNP-BC, to its growing team.

Highlander is a certified nurse midwife and has provided women’s health services in Weston since April  2020.

 Highlander is a native of Boone County. After receiving her associate nursing degree from the University of Charleston in 1999, she worked at CAMC on the cardiothoracic floors.

Highlander then completed her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Marshall University. In 2019, she received her dual master’s degree in women’s health and midwifery from Georgetown University.

“I have always had a passion for women’s health,” Highlander said. “Early in my career, I saw many women being misdiagnosed due to not presenting with textbook symptoms. I have been an advocate for breast and cervical cancer screenings for approximately 15 years. I love empowering women with knowledge.” 

Highlander now provides women’s health services in  Morgantown and Fairmont.

Mon Health Medical Center has been recognized as one of the “100 hospitals with great women’s health programs” by Becker’s Hospital Review, a leading healthcare publication.

“Education and access to care are paramount at Mon Health. “We are so pleased to welcome Sarah as an essential addition to our medical staff and to the community,” said Shane Prettyman, Mon Health OBGYN and co-medical director of Mon Health Medical Center’s Women’s Health Services.

Highlander is the mother of two sons, Zachary and Dylan. In her spare time, she enjoys scrapbooking, reading, working out, and trips to the beach and amusement parks.
