Exercise and Pregnancy: A Beautiful Thing!
At every stage of life, exercise is as important as nutrition for maintaining a healthy body and mind. Pregnancy is no different.

Biography
Dr. Sullivan attended Rush Medical College in Chicago and completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Vermont in 2008. Dr. Sullivan then served as a general obstetrician-gynecologist at North Country Hospital, a critical-access facility in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, for over 5 years. As one of only three OB-GYNs in a two-county region, he and his partners provided comprehensive women's healthcare to a community situated 80 miles from the nearest tertiary care center. Dr. Sullivan also gained expertise in obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound, developing a robust in-office imaging program for local patients. While in Vermont, Dr. Sullivan served in several medical staff leadership roles, including as director of his hospital's quality assurance committee and physician liaison to his hospital's information technology group. Dr. Sullivan joined the faculty at Carilion Clinic in early 2014, where his clinical focus is on outpatient women's health and inpatient OB/GYN care. He shares responsibility for oversight of women's ultrasound at Carilion's Riverside location. Dr. Sullivan enjoys training Carilion's residents, teaching Virginia Tech-Carilion medical students, and most importantly, helping his patients navigate both the routine and complex aspects of their obstetric and gynecologic care.
