EDUCATION
Dr. Morgan founded Pirate Pediatrics in 2011 after seeing how often families felt rushed, unheard and disconnected from their healthcare. She envisioned a practice where families could build meaningful relationships with their healthcare team and feel supported along the way.
Over the years, caring for children and families reinforced her belief that physical and mental health cannot be separated. Her work and education has increasingly focused on child and adolescent mental health. Today, she continues caring for established pediatric patients while providing mental health evaluations and medication management through Pirate Mind & Body.
