The Women’s Center, a practice of Copley Hospital, has hired OB-GYN Robin Leight, effective May 8. Leight is board-certified through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and brings to the center more than 30 years of experience in women’s health.
“We are delighted to have Robin joining the team,” said Grace Thompson, administrative leader in women's and newborn services. “The need for women’s health services is growing. Adding a second doctor ensures that we continue to make comprehensive women’s health care services accessible to the communities we serve.”
Leight received her medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine. In 1992, she completed her residency in OB/GYN at Reading Hospital and Medical Center. Following her residency, she joined Obstetrics, Gynecology & Infertility, a private practice in Rutland, with hospital privileges at Rutland Regional Hospital. In 2010, the practice – today under Rutland Women’s Healthcare- became part of the hospital. For the past several years, she has served as medical director and section chief.
Leight has a special interest in laparoscopic surgery, hysteroscopic surgery and surgery for cervix dysplasia (abnormal growth of cells on the surface of the cervix), menopause, pelvic pain and wellness care. She will be seeing patients at The Women’s Center, a practice located in the Health Center Building at Copley Hospital.
