Her Story
About Hannah
Hannah Meurer is a Certified Nurse-Midwife, nurse practitioner, and founder of Lune Health, a pioneering specialty clinic dedicated to compassionate, evidence-based care for miscarriage and pregnancy loss. From an early age, she felt drawn to caring for others and was especially moved by the vulnerability and strength inherent in women’s health. Growing up one of three sisters, she naturally gravitated toward nursing and ultimately found her calling in pregnancy, birth, and supporting women through some of life’s most profound and complex experiences. She started her academic training at the University of Georgia and Mercer University, and went on to earn her Master of Science in Nursing as a nurse midwife from Vanderbilt University. Throughout her clinical career, Hannah has practiced across diverse settings, including federally qualified health centers serving underserved communities, concierge obstetric practices, and hospital-based birth care. This breadth of experience exposed her to both the beauty of birth and the significant gaps in how the healthcare system supports patients experiencing pregnancy loss. A personal experience with early pregnancy loss deepened her understanding of these gaps and solidified her commitment to change. She saw firsthand how fragmented, clinical, and emotionally unsupported miscarriage care can be, and became determined to build a different model—one that honors both the medical and emotional realities of loss. That commitment led to the creation of Lune Health, the first specialty clinic of its kind focused exclusively on miscarriage and pregnancy loss care. The name “Lune” reflects the idea of “the in-between,” capturing the emotional space patients often inhabit after loss—no longer pregnant, but not yet able to move forward. Lune Health integrates evidence-based medical care, mental health support, and a trauma-informed approach designed to reduce triggers and center the patient experience. Driven by both clinical expertise and lived experience, Hannah’s mission is to redefine pregnancy loss care as its own specialty and establish Lune Health as the gold standard for compassionate, comprehensive support for families navigating loss.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Hannah
01What do you attribute your success to?
I am very stubborn and I'm a fighter. I also had amazing support from my parents. We were very determined and others-oriented, but especially my mom with us three girls was always encouraging us to do our own thing, knowing we were gonna be okay on our own, and fighting for other people. That's one thing, I'm very stubborn and passionate, but I'm also obsessed with quality. It keeps me up at night, the quality of care I'm giving people. And so I'm pretty relentless, which is a good and bad thing.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Find your people! Your circle to lean on, both in your field and outside of your field, because women's health and obstetrics is what I call "passion work." If you are not passionate and called to this work, you will burnout quickly. Especially in pregnancy loss care. Whether you're delivering a term baby who's passed away or holding a hand of a mother who is grieving her 6th early loss, it takes a physical, emotional, and mental toll. It's impossible to cope unless you have adequate, balanced support.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Our unofficial motto is, “If we can do this in Georgia, we can do it anywhere,” and that really reflects both the challenges and opportunities we’ve faced while opening our flagship clinic. We’ve learned so much throughout this process and have been fortunate to find incredible legal and business support along the way. Lune Health is ultimately a healthcare disruptor. Our current system is built around revenue and volume rather than truly quality patient care, something reflected in the U.S. maternal morbidity and mortality rates, as well as the state of maternal mental health. Building a category-defining company in healthcare is incredibly challenging, both from a funding perspective and from a business structure perspective, but we believe deeply in the need for this model of care.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Kindness is the value I come back to most, both personally and professionally. The golden rule, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you," really shapes how I practice and how I lead. It shows up in the care I give: the kind of care I wanted to receive in my own lowest moments.
My ability to connect with my patients, even crying with them, comes from having been on the other side myself. That experience changed how I see care and what people actually need when they’re vulnerable. Alongside that, I value hard work and doing your very best. In my family, our motto is simple: try hard, do your best, and that’s what matters. That mindset carries through everything we do at Lune Health.
