Welcome, Maureen!

You may see this familiar face and warm presence around BRPC while she’s finishing out her clinicials, and we’re so happy she’s with us.

Maureen Dempsey brings over 20 years of experience as a perinatal nurse to her role as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner student. Her career has spanned labor and delivery, high-risk antepartum care, and, most recently, serving as the case manager for patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy at Woman’s Hospital. With a deep passion for supporting individuals and families during the perinatal journey, Maureen is excited to expand her expertise into mental health care. She looks forward to continuing her work with this population as a mental health nurse practitioner, offering compassionate, specialized support during such a transformative time.
