Bio & Overview
Margaret Hayden, MD, is an internal medicine doctor with a special interest in caring for patients with complex health needs, including chronic diseases, hepatitis C, and HIV.
Her research interests include improving care for marginalized populations, especially those with a history of incarceration.
“My goal is always to get to know my patients as full, complex people (like we all are!) and not just a set of symptoms,” she says. “I love learning about their lives, understanding their hopes and worries, and doing my best to help them.”
Dr. Hayden grew up in a small town in Maine. She studied human biology, ethics, and anthropology at Stanford University and earned a master’s degree in medical anthropology from the University of Oxford.
She attended medical school at Harvard University and completed her residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, where she served as a primary care doctor at a federally qualified community health center.
Dr. Hayden worked for the nonprofit Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama, where she helped start a clinic that provided transitional primary care for people who had been in jail or prison. She was also an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Alabama Birmingham.
