Mount Airy, NC — Northern Pediatrics, a department of Northern Regional Hospital, is proud to welcome Myriam A. Garland, MD, to its team of pediatric providers.
Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, Dr. Garland moved to South Florida and later completed both her undergraduate and medical education in Florida. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Florida and her Doctor of Medicine from Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University. She completed her pediatric residency at the University of Louisville in Kentucky.
Her clinical experience includes practicing at Lone Star Circle of Care in Texas and most recently at High Country Community Health in Elkin, NC. Bilingual in English and Spanish, she is committed to ensuring that families of all backgrounds feel seen, heard, and supported in their children’s healthcare.
“I went into healthcare because I wanted to make a meaningful impact by helping people,” said Dr. Garland. “Pediatrics stood out to me because I love working with children and their families, whether it’s a routine check-up focused on preventative care or an urgent visit that requires treatment and reassurance. Children are incredibly resilient, and they teach me something new every day.”
Dr. Garland’s patient-centered approach focuses on caring for the whole child while respecting the values and beliefs of each family.
Her connection to Northern Regional Hospital is also deeply personal. “I was actually a patient at Northern when I delivered my babies, and I had such a wonderful experience with the team that I knew I wanted to be part of it,” she shared.
When she’s not in the clinic, Dr. Garland enjoys spending time with her husband and three young children. She is active in her church and enjoys raising chickens, cooking, crocheting, and watching mystery shows.
Dr. Garland joins the Northern Pediatrics team alongside Dr. Mae Daniels, Dr. Jordan Minor, Dr. Lauren Youell, and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Erica Wilson, continuing the department’s mission of providing high-quality, family-centered pediatric care in Mount Airy and the surrounding communities.
