Dr. Sarah Keating is the Medical Director of the Palliative Care Division. She is board certified in internal medicine, pediatrics, and hospice and palliative care who treats kids and teens in Orange County.

Dr. Keating attended medical school at Albany Medical College in Albany, NY where she obtained membership into both AOA and the Gold Humanism Honor Society.
