As a Russian-speaking nurse at Penn Medicine Doylestown Hospital, Anna Voronchikhin often becomes a vital bridge for patients who might otherwise feel unheard or uncertain in their care. In those moments, she doesn’t just translate words, she builds trust. Time and again, she removes barriers, prevents delays in treatment, and helps patients feel safe enough to be seen and understood.

For one reluctant patient, her persistence made all the difference. Through patience, reassurance, and unwavering advocacy, Anna helped him accept the critical care he needed, ultimately leading to a full recovery.

Anna’s care is present, empowered, and deeply human reminding us that healing often begins with being truly heard. Congratulations to Anna on being a Penn Medicine Advocacy Award recipient, a well-earned honor that reflects the extraordinary leader she is!

It was meant to be one of the happiest days of their lives: the moment they welcomed their child into the world. And then, in an instant, everything changed. What followed was chaos, fear, and uncertainty. But in the middle of it all, there was Laura.

Penn Medicine Doylestown Health nurse Laura Borek didn’t just step in, she took command. With calm confidence, she recognized the early signs of postpartum hemorrhage, activated life-saving protocols, and never lost her steady, reassuring presence. Because of her skill and experience, what could have been devastating became a story of survival.

"Honoring her with a DAISY Award isn’t just deserved, it’s a privilege" shared Lauren's nominator. Congratulations to Laura on receiving this recognition which honors nurses for their compassionate care and kindness.

At Penn Medicine Doylestown Hospital, Maggie Smith RN, is known for care that goes beyond the clinical checklist and into the moments that matter most.

When one patient was struggling with their mental health, Maggie didn’t rush past the moment, she paused, listened, and helped ease their fears with calm reassurance and steady presence. That same attentiveness shows up in everything she does: taking time to listen, stepping in for colleagues, and making sure no patient feels overlooked.

Her blend of clinical expertise and genuine compassion leaves a lasting impact on every patient and every family she cares for. That’s why Maggie was selected to receive a Penn Medicine Advocacy Award. This well-deserved honor recognizes her unwavering commitment to doing what’s right for individuals, teams, and the entire organization.

More than 40 years ago, Kim Hand began her nursing journey at Penn Medicine Doylestown Hospital working weekends, studying during the week, and building a career rooted in compassion.

She found her calling in maternity care nursing, becoming a trusted presence for families through labor, delivery, and newborn care. When the Level II Intensive Care Nursery opened, Kim stepped in to care for the most vulnerable patients, something she continues to do today with incredible skill and heart.

Ask anyone on the unit and you’ll hear it: “Go ask Kim.” A mentor, leader, and lifelong learner, she’s shaped not only patient care, but generations of nurses.

Beyond the bedside, Kim leads the policy and procedure committee, ensuring care is always grounded in the latest evidence-based practices. She’s also a certified specialist across multiple areas, a lactation expert, and a Neonatal Resuscitation instructor mentor, always learning, always teaching.

But what truly sets Kim apart isn’t just her experience, it’s her heart. The way she shows up for families. The way she supports her team. The way she’s spent four decades making a difference.

We're pleased to announce that Craig Gronczewski, MD, MBA, FACHE, has been named chief executive officer of Penn Medicine Doylestown Health effective June 1, after serving as chief medical officer and vice president of medical affairs at Penn Medicine Princeton Health since December 2020.

Dr. Gronczewski will provide executive leadership of Doylestown Health's broad network of care, anchored by Doylestown Hospital — a 245-bed community teaching hospital with more than 600 providers across 50 specialties serving patients across Philadelphia’s northern suburbs. A regional system recognized for high-quality, compassionate care, Doylestown Health provides seamless access to Penn Medicine’s world-renowned clinical services and research.

“Dr. Gronczewski has demonstrated a strong commitment to quality, patient safety, and a collaborative leadership that drives lasting results,” said Kevin Mahoney, CEO of the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS). “His deep roots within the Penn Medicine system — and his demonstrated ability to strengthen the connection between clinical teams and organizational strategy — make him exceptionally well-prepared to lead Doylestown Health forward.”

At Princeton Health, Dr. Gronczewski oversaw clinical and academic operations across Princeton Medical Center and Princeton House Behavioral Health. He served as president of the medical staff, as well as a member of the Princeton Health System Board of Trustees.

Dr. Gronczewski earned his Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences from Rutgers University and his medical degree from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He completed his residency in emergency medicine at the Medical College of Pennsylvania and later earned an MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, with dual concentrations in finance and management.

Sleep can be one of the hardest things to find in a hospital, but three acute care nurses at Penn Medicine Doylestown Hospital decided to change that. Kathleen Bray, Beth McLeod, and Nichole Persing saw a simple, universal struggle: patients who just couldn’t rest. So they got to work.

Their solution? “Noise buster kits,” a small but powerful combination of earplugs and an eye mask, given to every patient. The impact has been immediate. Patients feel cared for in a whole new way.

“Patients are so grateful that we recognize the challenge that comes from sleeping in the hospital,” Nichole shared. “Creating a quieter environment is critical.”

Sometimes, the most meaningful care isn’t complex; it’s simply helping a patient get a good night’s sleep.

It started with a few strands of string and a shared intention to make someone’s day a little brighter. In Bucks County, community members gathered through Art4Hearts, a youth-led nonprofit dedicated to spreading warmth through art therapy and bracelets, turning simple threads into heartfelt tokens of comfort for people they may never meet.

Charlotte Campagna, a student at Central Bucks High School South and co-founder of the Bucks County Chapter of Art4Hearts recently delivered 66 bracelets to Amy Stein, oncology social worker at Doylestown Health, for patients at Penn Medicine Doylestown Hospital, a place that holds deep meaning for this group.

We are so grateful to the Art4Hearts volunteers for their beautiful donations that will certainly brings smiles and comfort to our patients.

Jim Brexler, who guided Doylestown Health through COVID-19, a tornado, and last year’s integration with Penn Medicine, concluded his service as CEO of Penn Medicine Doylestown Health after 13 years of dedicated leadership. His five-decade career included leadership roles at health systems in Tennessee, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Michigan, and at LSU’s Health Sciences Center. At Doylestown Health, he oversaw major facility planning, a $100 million comprehensive fundraising campaign, and significant upgrades to cardiovascular, critical care, imaging, surgical, and women’s services.

We are grateful for Jim’s enduring impact and the strong foundation he leaves behind. His leadership will continue to shape Penn Medicine Doylestown Health for years to come.

Thanks to the generosity of Jeanne and John Hubbard, PhD, a meaningful collection of framed illustrations by artist Ginni Schmidt has found a new home at Doylestown Health’s Children's Village Early Childhood Education Center. Ginni, who is Jeanne's cousin, shares not only a family connection but a creative bond that makes this gift especially personal, transforming the donation into a tribute that blends art, family, and community.

Donated in honor of that connection, the artwork will be installed throughout the school, bringing warmth, color, and imagination to the art room, toddler hallway, and infant hallway for years to come. Each piece reflects Ginni's distinctive style, offering young learners a daily invitation to explore creativity and storytelling.

Kindergarten students were all smiles as they got a first look, already dreaming up the stories each illustration might tell.

The Hubbards, longstanding and visionary supporters of Penn Medicine Doylestown Health, have played a pivotal role in shaping Children’s Village. Their signature $1.5 million challenge match sparked a community-wide philanthropic effort to rebuild the center after the 2020 tornado. With the Hubbard Playhouse is named in their honor, their legacy is woven into the fabric of this special space, and their continued involvement reflects a deep, enduring commitment to the families and children it serves.

“This is it. I will no longer give a treatment that doesn’t work to a person who needs help.”

Driven by the struggles of patients experiencing miscarriage, Courtney Schreiber, MD, MPH, chief of family planning in Obstetrics and Gynecology, has led research that transformed national and international guidelines. The PEACE clinic she established in 2017 is now a national model to improve care for early pregnancy loss and complications.

For these achievements, she was awarded the 2026 BioInnovation Institute (BII) & Science Magazine Translational Medicine Prize for Innovations in Women’s Health.
