Biography

Nena Barnhart, MD provides obstetrics and gynecology services with a goal of integrating patient centered care and evidence-based medicine. She attended University of California San Francisco for medical school and residency and focused on Community Health and Social Advocacy at that time. She initially worked at Kaiser Santa Clara then joined the PeaceHealth ObGYN group in 2014. As a Seattle native, she was happy to return to the Pacific Northwest to be close to her family. Her specialty interests include group-based prenatal care, contraceptive options, reproductive infectious diseases and minimally invasive surgery. “I feel honored to share so many important moments with women including the joy of childbirth, the sorrow of losing a pregnancy, the challenges of undergoing surgery, and decisions about protecting our health.” When not working, Dr. Barnhart enjoys reading, baking with her kids, and spending time outdoors: walking her dog, gardening, berry picking, and paddleboarding. She lives in Bellingham with her husband, a professor at Western Washington University, and her two daughters.
