About Shana Hansen, MD
Shana Hansen, MD is a board-certified physician who specializes in pediatric and adult sleep. She has achieved fellowship designation in three areas of medical practice to include sleep medicine, pediatrics, and adolescent/young adult medicine.
Dr. Hansen grew up in the Midwest and headed to the Northeast for her undergraduate studies, earning her degree from the University of Maryland. She was commissioned as an officer in the United States Air Force, completing her medical degree at the Uniformed Serves University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, graduating as valedictorian. The Air Force brought her to San Antonio where she refined her pediatric skills and knowledge through an internship and residency at the San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium (SAUSCHEC).
She continued her education in an adolescent medicine fellowship here in San Antonio, followed by an assignment as associate program director for the pediatric residency at the Naval Hospital Portsmouth Virginia. During this time, an interest in sleep medicine was sparked, returning Dr. Hansen to San Antonio for further education and research in sleep medicine through SAUSCHEC.
Over the next 10 years, Dr. Hansen built an esteemed career in both clinical medicine and graduate medical education at SAUSCHEC, retiring after 20 years in service to the United States Airforce in May 2023. She has thoroughly enjoyed incorporating all her specialties while providing high quality medical care and training the next generation of physicians.
When not practicing medicine, Dr. Hansen enjoys spending time with her husband, two children, and her parents who also traded the cold midwestern weather for sunny San Antonio. She enjoys watching and attending all types of sporting events, reading, cycling, and exploring San Antonio and neighboring communities with family and friends.
