Meet the current Ob/Gyn residents at WellSpan York Hospital

Our Ob/gyn residents are involved in decision-making regarding their residency education at every level.

Empowered residents with a voice

Residents help design the two-year rotating didactic schedule, plan the educational activities of morning report and lead problem-based learning sessions. Monthly resident business meetings are an opportunity for residents to suggest changes in the residency and identify problems.

Each year, residents spend a half day with faculty doing a deep dive into the residency experience and providing input for larger residency projects and changes. Residents write both the call schedule and assign the operating room schedule each week.

Residents sit on numerous hospital committees in quality improvement, ethics and graduate medical education, as well as local, state and national medical committees. We support our residents' participation in these activities, as it establishes a pattern of engagement we hope will continue throughout their careers.

Current Residents

Taylor DeAnnuntis (Barber), DO

Medical school: Philadelphia COM

Undergraduate: University of Pittsburgh

After moving several times throughout my childhood, my family finally settled down in Mechanicsburg, PA which is only about 40 minutes away from York! I went to the University of Pittsburgh for undergrad where I studied neuroscience and psychology, followed by PCOM for medical school. I spent 6 weeks on L&D at York Hospital during college in their externship program, and knew from that moment on that I wanted to be an OB/GYN.

I'm currently enjoying the house-hunting process with my fiancé, Dante and our puppy, Nova. In my free time I also enjoy riding my horse, Reggie, and experimenting with new plant-based recipes. I'm so excited to join the WellSpan family and am looking forward to the next 4 years!

Elizabeth Cammett, MD

Medical school: Quinnipiac University

Undergraduate: University of Connecticut

I was born and raised in Connecticut where I also did my undergraduate studies at the University of Connecticut and, after two gap years, went to medical school at the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine (Quinnipiac University). During my gap years, I traveled, scribed in an Emergency Department, and even worked in hospitality on a sailboat in New Zealand for a short time.

During medical school, I combined my longstanding interest in global health with my enthusiasm for Women’s health and conducted qualitative interviews amongst migrant women in the Dominican Republic. This work, focused on postpartum care and preventative medicine, is something that I am particularly passionate about and interested in applying during my residency training. I am looking forward to this next chapter at WellSpan York Hospital and am excited for this opportunity to learn from my colleagues.

In my spare time, I love going on mini adventures with my husband, catching up with family and friends, playing board games and consuming large amounts of Thai food.

Monica Del Moral Suazo, MD

Medical school: University of Puerto Rico

Undergraduate: University of Puerto Rico at Cayey

I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I went to the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey where I majored in Biology, and then to the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine. One of my hobbies includes playing and watching basketball, which I've enjoyed since being a kid and played all throughout high school. I also love tennis, cooking, and best of all, spending time with family and friends.

Since recognizing my passion for women’s health, it became clear how obstetrics and gynecology was the field for me. As I move forward, my wish to provide not only care but also a sense of security to patients becomes a reality, especially for underserved communities and my fellow Latinx population. I am grateful for the opportunity to train in this specialty and for my amazing York family.

Jennifer Gaertner-Otto, DO

Medical school: University of the Incarnate Word SOM

Undergraduate: College of William and Mary

I was born and raised in the Annapolis area of Maryland and attended undergrad at the College of William and Mary (Go Tribe!). I’ve always been passionate about advocating for women and women’s healthcare, so it was no surprise during medical school I discovered a love for all facets of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

Before pursuing medical school at UIWSOM in San Antonio TX, I served as a cancer clinical research coordinator in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Denver. I’m excited to be back home in the mid-Atlantic to learn how to better serve our York community, amongst a fantastic residency team! In my spare time I enjoy hiking with my husband, baking, water sports, and traveling to see family and friends.

I’m Katie! I’m originally from a small, middle-of-nowhere town called Renick, WV. I grew up on a farm and love all things outdoors - gardening, hiking, kayaking, and playing soccer. I also enjoy board games, reading, WVU sports, and wood working. I did my undergraduate at WV Wesleyan and medical school at West Virginia University School of Medicine. While I was there, I became very sure that I wanted to work in underserved communities, and York has many opportunities to work in diverse and low resource populations. I particularly love our Centering Pregnancy group and am passionate about Addiction Treatment in Pregnancy.

Kaitlynn Games, DO

I was born in Dallas TX where I spent my entire childhood with 8 brothers and sisters. Watching my mom go through multiple labors instilled in me a curiosity for childbirth. I earned my bachelor's in microbiology at Oklahoma State, GO POKES! I then travelled to Missouri with my new husband for medical school at KCU. Since graduating and matching at York I have welcomed my first kiddo into this world with the help of my lovely co-residents. I hope to bring my new mom knowledge along with me as I finish up my residency training at WellSpan!

Maya Menking-Colby, MD

Hometown: Charleston, West Virginia

Medical school: Marshall University

Undergraduate: Marshall University

Hi! I go by Nadye and I am so happy to learn and serve in the community of York, PA for residency. I grew up in Charleston, WV. I stayed in the state for undergrad and med school at Marshall University in Huntington. It was an easy decision to choose OBGYN as a medical student and as a NHSC Scholar I knew I was looking for a place to help prepare me to be a generalist to underserved communities. I was also excited to find a place where we get a chance to work with midwives because my mother is a proud midwife. I have to say I found the perfect fit at WellSpan! I love the diversity of the area with the comforts of a small town. I moved here with my two cats and husband. He is working as a LPN in the area. We enjoy trying new foods, traveling to DC and Baltimore when we can and hanging out with our friends in York. We especially love a good game night!

Thomas Mitrev, MD

Hometown: Chesapeake, Virginia

Medical school: Eastern Virginia Medical School

Undergraduate: Virginia Tech

I was raised in Chesapeake, Virginia and went just slightly out west to Blacksburg, Virginia for undergraduate education in Biology/Biochemistry at Virginia Tech. I stayed in-state and returned home to Norfolk, Virginia to complete my medical degree at Eastern Virginia Medical School. During this time, I discovered my love for OB/GYN and come time for residency I packed up and moved out of Virginia for the first time in my adult life to start my career in York, Pennsylvania.

So far, my passion for food and cooking has been well supplied by the amazing local farmer's markets. My partner and I have enjoyed exploring the many county and state parks that this area has to offer to satisfy out itch for hiking and camping.

Elena Benzaquen Garcia, MD

Hometown: San Juan, Puerto Rico

Medical school: University of Puerto Rico

Undergraduate: University of Puerto RIco

I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. But all my family is from Caracas, Venezuela. I completed my undergraduate degree in the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus in Cellular Molecular Biology. During my last year of college I had the opportunity to shadow an amazing OBGYN and that is how my love for this specialty started. I entered medical school with this goal in mind and in a blink here I am.

I chose Obstetrics and Gynecology as a specialty because it allows be to build long-lasting relationships with my patients, and to guide them through the different stages of their lives involving sexuality, family planning, motherhood, disease management and prevention. I recognize that this specialty allows us the privilege and responsibility of having difficult and sensitive conversations as well as to provide the best possible emotional and physical care to women. I always aspired for a place in which I was accepted and supported, but at the same time would challenge my skills every day. I can now say that in York Hospital Residency Program I found my place. It provides us with robust number of learning and teaching opportunities, but I would say the best part is sharing this journey with my co-residents. Now that I'm far from home, they have become my extended family. In my free time I love going to new restaurants, exercise, go out with friends and fly back home so I can sit and relax at the beach.

Nina Feinberg, MD

Hometown: West Orange/Livington, NJ

Medical school: University of Vermont

Undergraduate: Brandeis University, Waltham, MA

I was born in New Jersey and moved up to Boston where I completed my undergraduate degree in chemical biology at Brandeis University. I stayed in the Boston area and worked as an EMT before moving to Vermont to attend medical school at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont.

I am passionate about gender affirming care in gynecology and providing inclusive and informed care to LGBTQ+ populations, especially in rural areas where access can be challenging. I am also interested in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and medical ethics, so having a program director who is very involved in hospital ethics is very exciting.

I moved to York with my partner and our two cats and one dog. In my free time, I love to bake and make jam and pickles, hike and forage for mushrooms, ski, and watch movies with at least one cat on my lap.

Haggar “Zoe” Aspitz, MD

Hometown: Brooklyn, NY, Los Altos, CA and Tel Aviv, Israel

Medical school: Sackler School of Medicine

Undergraduate: University of California, Davis

I was born and raised in Los Altos Hills, California; after graduating high school I moved to Israel and did a year of community service volunteering in an elementary school. Following that year, I returned to California where I started my undergraduate degree at University of California Davis, where I received my degree in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior.

Following my undergraduate degree, I decided to take a job as a research assistant for a company that developed vaccines for animals. I worked in research and development of new vaccines as well as quality assurance of current vaccines. After a year of research, I decided to head back to Israel for medical school at the American Medical Program at Tel Aviv University. During medical school I fell in love with the diversity of obstetrics and gynecology from surgery to primary care, helping patients in all stages of their life and healthcare.

I am incredibly thrilled to be moving to Pennsylvania to begin my career in Ob/Gyn at York Hospital! I absolutely love nature and am excited to explore all the outdoors that Pennsylvania has to offer. I am making the move with my adorable 10-year-old Border Collie-Labrador Retriever Mix Baloo, kitten Louie and my incredible husband who is a general surgery resident. In my free time I enjoy hiking, running, and baking.

Meghan Scantlebury, DO

Hometown: Richmond, Rhode Island

Medical school: University of New England COM

Undergraduate: Brandeis University, Waltham, MA

I was born and raised in small town in southern Rhode Island. I completed my undergraduate degree at Brandeis University where I was indecisive and majored in biochemistry, biology, and chemistry. It was through volunteering opportunities in college that I was first able to explore my interests in women’s and reproductive health. After graduating, I moved back to southern RI and spent the next two years working as a scribe in the emergency department and volunteering as an EMT for a small beach town.

Living a short drive to the ocean almost my whole life, I couldn’t resist continuing my education at the University of New England in Maine for medical school. During my fourth year of medical school, I had the opportunity to complete an audition rotation at WellSpan Hospital and loved my experience with the program, attendings, and residents that I was able to work with. When I’m not at the hospital, I can be found dabbling in one of my many hobbies including hiking to waterfalls with my partner, canoeing, baking, playing board games, and drawing.

Andrea Sanchez Velazquez, MD

Hometown: Caguas, Carolina, San Juan

Medical school: University of Puerto Rico

Undergraduate: University of Puerto Rico - Cayey, USA

Hi all!! I'm born and raised in Puerto Rico where I completed my undergraduate and graduate education. After my bachelor’s degree, my interest in statistics and research grew and I completed a masters in epidemiology. On my third year of medical school, I found my people in ObGyn. I’m passionate about language concordant care, health disparities, advocacy, and healthcare access.

I strive to offer my patients a safe space that values vulnerability and validates emotions. ObGyn provides me the opportunity to provide life-long care, while at the same time developing nurturing relationships and being part of different stages of my patient’s life. In my free time I like to do my own gel manicure, watch formula 1 and bake.

Katherine Madden, DO

Hometown: Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania

Medical school: Virginia COM – Virginia

Undergraduate: Ursinus College, Collegeville, PA

I grew up just 2 hours north in Bloomsburg, PA and attended Ursinus College outside of Philadelphia for undergrad. At Ursinus I majored in Biology and Neuroscience and was a part of the women's swim team. It was here that I discovered my interest in medicine (and maybe even OBGYN) where I was involved in research studying cardiac hypertrophy in pregnancy! After undergrad I moved down to Blacksburg, Virginia where I completed medical school at VCOM and fell in love with the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology. It is the one specialty where I felt I could best combine my love of medicine, surgery, patient education, advocacy, and community service.

I am so excited to have matched at York where I will be caring for such a diverse patient population and learning from some of the most supportive attendings. I could not be happier to move back close to my family and spend my free time catching up with old (and new!) friends.

Heather Brubaker, DO

Medical school: Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine - Virginia Campus

Undergraduate: Ursinus College in Collegeville, PA

I was born and raised in Lancaster, PA, and earned my undergraduate degree in Biology and Neuroscience from Ursinus College in Collegeville, PA. Following graduation, I took some time off before medical school to travel around Europe and the United States. After sating my wanderlust, I worked as a medical scribe in a Family Medicine office before attending medical school at VCOM-Virginia where my passion for OBGYN became evident during my third-year clinical rotations.

I love having the opportunity to work with women at every stage of life and to attend to their health needs. I am thrilled to return to central Pennsylvania to continue my journey with the OBGYN team at York Hospital! When I’m not working hard on Labor and Delivery, I enjoy traveling, reading lots of books, watching Formula 1, gymnastics, and hockey (go Flyers!), and spending time with friends and family.

Amy Morrison, DO, MPH

Medical school: Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine - California

Undergraduate: Cornell University Ithaca, NY

I was born and raised in sunny San Diego, CA before getting my undergraduate degree from Cornell University. I worked as a medical assistant in St. Louis, MO for two years prior to starting my DO/MPH dual degree at Touro University back in California. I did a general surgery prelim year at SUNY Upstate in Syracuse, NY prior to starting my dream residency in OB/GYN here in York!

I am so excited to provide full-spectrum obstetric and gynecologic care to our diverse patient population and to be able to work with such a supportive, hard-working team. When not in the hospital, you’ll find me hanging out with my rescue dog, Bailey, watching sports (Padres/USWNT/F1) or the Bravo network, or getting brunch with friends.

Kreisha Medina Rodriguez, MD

Medical school: University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine

Undergraduate: University of Puerto Rico

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, where I completed my undergraduate degree in Chemistry at UPRM. My passion for science and community involvement led me to pursue a career in medicine. I fell in love with OBGYN because it offers the unique opportunity to be both a primary care physician and a surgeon. The continuity of care, the wide range of emotions, and the privilege of accompanying patients during one of the most significant moments profoundly connect with me.

In OBGYN, I have the privilege of being present during a patient's happiest or most challenging days, delivering diagnoses, performing surgeries, practicing preventive medicine, and building a community with my patients. Training in a diverse, close-knit community was my priority, so I am thrilled to join the OBGYN WellSpan family! I made the big move from my tropical island with a warm winter coat and my furry companion, Nickel, who is also scared of the upcoming winter. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the outdoors, traveling to new places, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Priyanka Prasad, MD, MPH

Medical school: Indiana University School of Medicine

Undergraduate:

University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC)
Thomas Jefferson University Philadelphia, PA for MPH

Baltimore-born and raised in Ellicott City, MD. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). My interest in public health led me to Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia where I completed my Master of Public Health degree. I then worked for the Maryland Department of Health as a health policy analyst, and I worked toward improving systemic aspects of healthcare and ensuring quality services for Maryland Medicaid. However, I found myself longing to work with individuals one-on-one and form meaningful connections with the people I serve. Thus, I was ultimately drawn to the field of medicine and attended Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM).

For me, OB/GYN best encapsulated my interests in women's health, improving quality of life, and preventative medicine. I am excited to join the OB/GYN team at York Hospital given its robust education and opportunities, knowledgeable providers, and most importantly, the wonderful, diverse patient population! In my free time, I enjoy painting, singing, and spending time with family and friends.

Hannah Tenney, MD

Medical school: West Virginia University School of Medicine

Undergraduate: West Virginia Wesleyan College

I was born in raised in a small town called Buckhannon, West Virginia where I obtained my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at WVWC. I started slowly making my way further up the state where I went to medical school at WVU in Morgantown. While rotating during my third year, I fell in love with Ob/Gyn and all that it had to offer and soon made the decision to pursue it as my future career.

While on the interview trail, I was able to meet the wonderful folks at York Hospital and knew that this was the place I wanted to be! The faculty and residents made me feel welcomed from day one and I couldn't be more grateful. I'm ecstatic to be a part of the Ob/Gyn team and can't wait to serve this vast population and continue to educate myself each day! When I'm off the clock, I enjoy baking (mostly bread but I've gotten pretty good at cheesecake!), reading, crocheting, and spending time with my friends and family.
