Among his other roles, Dr. McCann can be found on staff at Mary Immaculate Hospital, and Maryview Medical Center.

Gynecologic oncology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on cancers of the female reproductive system, including ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, vaginal cancer, cervical cancer, and vulvar cancer.
