About
I am a neonatologist and perinatal epidemiologist at Stanford University, with investigative work focusing on understanding and improving morbidities and neurodevelopmental outcomes for extremely premature and high-risk infants, and building programs and collaboratives to advance care and support systems for children and families. My work as neurodevelopmental follow up PI with the NICHD Neonatal Research Network encompasses outcomes evaluations for high-risk infants at toddler age through school age. I am privileged to serve as medical director and PI for the statewide California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative (CPQCC) High-
Risk Infant Follow-Up (HRIF) Program, a statewide partnership with California Children’s Services, integrating a continuum of care framework for quality improvement from NICU through early childhood. At Stanford, I direct the Fetal and Pregnancy Health Program, which has established an interdisciplinary and highly integrated approach to comprehensive care for complex fetal patients, expectant mothers, and families. I enjoy cooking, hiking, and traveling to learn.
Susan also serves as a co-leader of the Life Course Translational Research Network (LCT-RN)'s Prematurity Node.
