About me

Patti Hanson specializes in midwifery and obstetrics, women's health and gynecology and colposcopy procedures. Her interest lies in ethics in decision making and the consent process in obstetrics. Patti loves working with families and helping guide them through stressful and exciting life events. She is honored to be present with women during labor and childbirth. For her, midwifery is a passion, not just a job.

Originally from the Philadelphia area, Patti moved to Oregon after attending school for midwifery in New York City. She chose to work at OHSU because she can practice the art of midwifery within a hospital system as well as teach the next generation of midwives. A nature lover, Patti loves to hike, ski and kayak with her husband and two children.

Insurance

Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher. Visit the billing and insurance section of our site for more information.
