SYRACUSE, N.Y.— St. Joseph’s Health is pleased to welcome Megan Matott, DO, back to St. Joseph’s Health Hospital - where she will practice palliative medicine.

Dr. Matott received her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Nazareth College in Rochester, New York, where she graduated summa cum laude. She earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her Family Medicine Residency Training at St. Joseph’s Health Hospital. She worked in primary care for two years, prior to completing her fellowship training in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at Rochester General Hospital. Dr. Matott is particularly interested in symptom management at the end of life and providing supportive environments for patients & families during these transitional periods.

“I feel a true calling to care for those with serious illnesses. I am honored and humbled every day to help improve quality of life for this population,” said Dr. Matott. “I am thrilled to be able to continue my career in a place where I already feel at home with an incredible team of colleagues.”

In her spare time, Dr. Matott as a self-proclaimed “health nut,” is an athlete, lifter, dancer, cyclist, roller skater, and low carb diet enthusiast. Dichotomously though, she also runs a small custom cake business in her spare time. She loves all things outdoorsy, home renovations, DIY projects and reading an abundance of fiction novels.

Dr. Matott is seeing patients at St. Joseph’s Health Hospital, with the Palliative Medicine team, located at 301 Prospect Avenue in Syracuse.
