Two More OB/GYN Providers Join St. Mary’s Healthcare
AMSTERDAM, N.Y., Dec. 9, 2025—Two more providers—Dr. Dhaval Swaminarayan and women’s health nurse practitioner Sara Gorham—have joined the OB/GYN Health Center at St. Mary’s Healthcare. Both were recruited as part of the hospital’s commitment to ensure convenient, local access to key healthcare services.
Dr. Swaminarayan has 23 years of experience in academic and clinical settings, most recently as a physician with Capital Region OB/GYN in Latham. Gorham has been providing women’s healthcare for more than two decades, including nine years with Saratoga OB/GYN and Midwifery Services.
“With Dr. Swaminarayan and Sara, we add two experienced providers who share St. Mary’s dedication to excellence and compassion,” said Dr. James Charland, chair of obstetrics and gynecology at St. Mary’s. “As members of our OB/GYN team, they will be instrumental in expanding access and enhancing care for women in our community at every stage of their life.”
Dr. Swaminarayan earned his medical degree from NHL Medical College, Gujarat University in Ahmedabad, India and completed OB/GYN residencies at BJ Medical College in India and Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. He is board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a member of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Medical Association.
The new OB/GYN providers were recruited as part of the local independent hospital’s focus on strategic growth. Already, OB/GYN patients have benefited. Earlier this year, staffing additions enabled St. Mary’s to resume providing women’s healthcare at the hospital’s Johnstown Family Health Center. Those services had been temporarily halted due, in part, to COVID-19 pandemic-related staffing challenges .
