From the time I was a young girl, we had some health issues in our family so we spent a
lot of time in
hospitals. I felt very comfortable in the hospital environment and knew from a really
early age that
medicine or nursing is what I wanted to do.
I became involved in occupational health after I graduated from graduate school as a nurse
practitioner.
I was recruited by a physician that I had worked with in the emergency department who
is now an
occupational health physician. He trained me in occupational health, and we have really
developed
a niche. Occupational healthcare is medical care specifically for working people. We take
care of the
people in the community who work. We keep them working. And with 100 plus specialists
and providers
here at Mount Nittany Physician Group, we know that we can be that resource. One of
the advantages
that we have for small businesses is that we're able to do same-day injury care in our
office. That
minimizes downtime for the employee and for the employer.
Well, Mount Nittany Physician Group has a long tradition of service to this community,
a long tradition
of dedicated service. We're part of the community. Decisions aren't being made in a corporate
office in
another city; decisions are being made here for our community. We not only work here,
we live here.
We raise our families here. We're invested in this community.
