From Surgeon to System Strategist
Meet Dr. Shannon Marie Foster, MD FACS, Founder
With 20 years of experience as a trauma surgeon (MD FACS), I’ve seen how systems break and how they heal. I founded SMF Facilitation to bring the precision of the OR to the human side of healthcare. My mission is to ensure that every professional and every system has the framework they need to move from friction to function.
