My name is Morgan Black. While I am proud to call myself a generalist family physician providing full-spectrum care for individuals during all stages of their lives, I feel particularly privileged to be able to work in the area of maternal/child health alongside an amazing, multidisciplinary team at the Maternity Centre of Hamilton. Throughout my undergraduate and postgraduate medical training (which I completed at McMaster University) and the early years of my career, I quickly developed a passion and area of interest in Women’s Health and Family Medicine Obstetrics. I truly believe that family doctors are in a unique position to provide holistic, comprehensive, patient-centered care to the patients we care for throughout their pregnancy journey and beyond. I also have a strong interest in medical education, currently working as a physician in an academic family medicine teaching unit, as well as serving as the rotation coordinator for the Family Medicine Maternal/Child core rotation that our Hamilton-site residents complete during residency at McMaster University. Outside of work, I find the most joy in spending time with my family, ideally exploring the outdoors on our local hiking trails or sharing conversation over good food (ideally cooked by others!).

The birth of a child is such an incredibly precious event. A true miracle. As a family physician, I feel honored to be part of this experience every time. As a scholar, I’m also interested in maternal-child health and have focused my work on the detection and treatment of diabetes in pregnancy. I have experienced the miracle of new life three times as I am a proud father of two boys and a girl. We love to go out for bike rides, paddling adventures or just enjoy movie night together.

As a family doctor, I have a deep passion for women’s health, optimizing maternal health before, during and after pregnancy, as well as newborn care. Pregnancy can be such an exciting time in a person’s life, but it can also be one with new changes, questions and unknowns. I love supporting patients during this important and memorable chapter in their lives. Originally from Ontario, I obtained my medical training at the University of Alberta and returned to Hamilton to continue providing low-risk obstetrical care along with work in women’s health and newborn care. In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking and travelling.

As a founding member, the Maternity Centre has been my clinical “home” for over 22 years. I am the Clinic Director as well as a Nurse Practitioner and split my time between my administrative and clinical roles. I am passionate about Women’s health, prenatal care and have a special interest in health equity and advocacy. I feel privileged to share the journey of pregnancy with so many people and could not imagine doing anything else. Outside of work, I enjoy learning new skills while tackling home projects, spending time outdoors, and spending time with my “young adult” children. We recently adopted a dog Tyson, a 13-year-old boxer who needed a home. We thought we were rescuing him, but he rescued us!
