On March 30, we celebrate Doctors' Day. The celebration this year is special because we are saluting the care, dedication, and nimbleness displayed by physicians two years into the COVID-19 pandemic to provide the healthcare our community needed.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month—it's a time to reflect on the importance of communities and agencies working together to prevent and address child abuse and neglect. Mount Nittany Health's Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) is at the forefront of this work, led by Diana McWilliams, newly appointed Executive Director.

The providers and staff of the women & children's services unit are the hands that deliver life each day at Mount Nittany Medical Center. They witness countless first moments for newborns and their families as they deliver nearly 1,300 babies every year.

Four years earlier, Dr. Zoda had placed a stent in Kathy’s artery that saved her life.

Beth Kalenak has unique insight into how philanthropy can enhance both patient care and a physician's experience. She witnessed this firsthand as the spouse of a physician, first sparking her interest in healthcare philanthropy.
