How Does Ready, Set LAUNCH Work? Your Newborn Navigator will ask you how your first few weeks have been for you, your child, and your family. Your Navigator will see whether there was anything you wish you had or anything you currently need. Y our Navigator can work with you to make referrals if you'd like them.

LEADERSHIP Gavin Muir, MD Chief Medical Officer/Chief Quality Officer "I joined MCHC, now Amoskeag Health, as a staff physician in 1998. It was and is the only job I’ve had after my Family Medicine residency. I came to New Hampshire from Colorado for the mountains, for the opportunity to provide prenatal care and deliver babies as part of my practice and to work somewhere that would help take care of my student loan debt. After my loans were paid off in 2003, I stayed because I really valued making such a difference in so many people’s lives and because I thoroughly enjoyed working collaboratively with the rest of the health center’s staff in an effort to assist our patients to live their best lives." Gavin is a Family Physician who joined Amoskeag Health in 1998. He is from suburban Philadelphia but has lived in New Hampshire for three decades. He got his undergraduate degree from Princeton University in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology in 1991 and his medical degree from Temple University in 1995 and graduated from his residency program at Southern Colorado Family Medicine in Pueblo, Colorado in 1998. He was a staff physician for his first three years and then started taking on a leadership role at Amoskeag Health. He served as its Medical Director for a decade and then stepped down for two years from that role to focus on the work he was doing with the Elliot Hospital Medical Staff. He served as the Chair of the Department of Medicine at Elliot Hospital for two years and then spent a decade leading Elliot’s Multispecialty Review Committee. He became the Chief Medical Officer of Amoskeag Health in 2013 and has continued to serve in that role. He was a Union Leader Forty Under Forty winner in 2007 and in 2013 he was named the Family Physician of the Year by the NH Academy of Family Physicians. In 2019 he received the Stephen A. Tzinabos award for his leadership and dedication to the Elliot Hospital’s Medical Staff. Last year he stopped doing inpatient medicine after delivering a little over 1,000 babies over 27 years at Elliot Hospital. He continues to see patients in the clinic. Back to Leadership
