Dr. Anne Biringer has helped make high quality pregnancy and newborn care more accessible to families across Canada and around the world.
For generations, patients needing medical care during pregnancy, labour and delivery would look to their family doctor. Yet with increasing specialization in health care, perinatal care is infrequently chosen by Family Medicine graduates in Canada.
Leading by example as a family doctor who delivers, Dr. Biringer has inspired and trained hundreds of Family Medicine residents to provide perinatal care as part of their practice. This offers pregnant patients more choice in their birth experience, as well as the possibility of having their baby delivered by their own family doctor.
Through her work and scholarship on teaching perinatal care, including the first book focused on teaching obstetrics to primary care physicians and other health professionals, Dr. Biringer has equipped hundreds more with the requisite knowledge and skills to deliver high-quality care—and to teach others how to do so, as well. Having trained dozens of primary care professionals across several under-resourced nations, her contributions helped establish perinatal care as part of the core curriculum for Family Medicine in Ethiopia.
Building on Dr. Biringer’s professional legacy as the inaugural Ada Slaight & Slaight Family Foundation Director in Family Medicine Maternity Care, the Dr. Anne Biringer Mount Sinai 100 Chair in Family Medicine Pregnancy & Newborn Care honours not only the shared legacy of Dr. Biringer together with Ada Slaight, but also pays tribute to Mount Sinai’s origins as a maternity hospital founded through the leadership of women and their philanthropy.

Family doctors who deliver babies are a vital community resource, particularly in rural and underserved urban centres, as well as under-resourced countries. Dr. Biringer has equipped hundreds of physicians and other primary care providers with the knowledge and skills to deliver high quality perinatal care in their community.
