Angel Belgard, MS, MD
Chief Medical Officer
Angel joined the team as Chief Medical Officer in 2020 after a gratifying career as an attending physician in the United States Air Force. She received her M.D. from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and completed the integrated civilian/military pediatric residency at Wright State University School of Medicine. Following her medical training, she practiced outpatient, inpatient, and newborn medicine and was heavily involved in undergraduate and graduate medical education. She was an associate professor of pediatrics at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Angel holds a Master’s of Science in Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University, with her undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia. Outside of work she has a heart for children and enjoys staying connected with friends and family, tangential learning, and instilling a love of learning in her 2 children.
