Description


Athena Award Winner

Join us for an inspiring morning of conversation with this year's ATHENA Award recipient as she shares the experiences, challenges, and defining moments that have shaped her leadership journey. Through an authentic discussion, you'll hear how taking risks, embracing opportunities, and leading with purpose have influenced her career and the way she leads today. She'll also share the story behind Patients R Waiting, how the organization came to be, the need it was created to address, and the lasting impact it continues to make. 

Speaker info:


Dr. Livingston was born and raised in the inner city of Harrisburg, PA. She always knew she wanted to become a physician. She expressed particular interest in Women’s Health at an early age. She started working as a candy striper at Community General Osteopathic Hospital at age 9. Dr. Livingston received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, PA. She received her medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. Livingston completed a rigorous Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at Penn State Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, PA. In 2006, she began practicing as an Ob/Gyn at UPMC Lititz. She is currently serving as the Ob/Gyn Department Chair. She is a member of the UPMC Lititz Board of Trustees. She is the highest volume female robotic surgeon in the county of Lancaster. Dr. Livingston is a Founding Board Member of “Patients R Waiting,” a non-profit organization that is very dear to her. The mission of Patients R Waiting is to eliminate health disparities by increasing diversity in medicine. Patients R Waiting aims to 1) increase the pipeline of minority clinicians; 2) make the pipeline of minority clinicians less leaky; and 3) support minority clinicians in practice. Dr. Livingston is a Co-Founder of the Diversifying Doulas Initiative which aims to improve maternal outcomes through doula support. Dr. Livingston is a Co-Founder of FLOW (For the Love of Women).

The mission of UPMC Health Equity NOW is to decrease maternal morbidity and mortality in racially and ethnically diverse populations delivering in UPMC birthing hospitals. Dr. Livingston has been the Medical Director of the Lebanon Valley Midwifery and Women’s Wellness birth center since 2013. She also serves as the lead physician collaborator for over 20 certified nurse midwives in Lancaster County. She is most honored to be one of the founders and president of MOKA moms (Moms of Kids Advancing – mothers of color in medicine). Dr. Livingston gains all her pride and joy as the wife of Ivan T.
