It’s a “Feel Good Friday” when we receive this compliment from a proud father of one our UPMC Magee-Womens in Central Pa. breast surgeons.

In a submission to the Pennsylvania Medical Society for a National Doctor’s Day award, Dr. Geletzke’s father wrote, “…Now I have never even had an appointment with Dr. Geletzke, but I know how hard she works and how much she cares about her patients! I have watched her grow and mature since she was born. During my 45-year career as a railroader, I thought I worked an unbelievable number of hours...but watching my daughter go through her surgical residency gave me total respect for physicians in all specialties! Basically, all I can say is that I am so proud of my daughter and state she sure didn't get her brains from her father! If someone needed to see a breast surgeon, I wouldn't hesitate to send them to Dr. Abby Geletzke, MD!”

While National Doctor’s Day was earlier this year, Dr. Geletzke’s commitment and care for patients never stops. In Lancaster County, she sees patients with breast cancer, those with risk factors leading to a high risk of breast cancer, and patients with benign breast problems.

Why do a virtual visit for a child with asthma?

“With many asthma visits, it’s actually a perfect way to do a visit because it’s a clinical diagnosis and involves a lot of discussion,” answered pediatric pulmonologist and certified asthma educator, Heather Jahoda, PA-C, on a recent appearance on WHP’s Taking Care of Business.

Listen to Heather’s complete interview as she discusses pediatric asthma symptoms, treatments and virtual visits available through UPMC Children’s Specialty Services in Central Pa.

Lung cancer continues to be one of the deadliest cancers in the United States. To shed light on this topic, Dr. Troy Moritz, UPMC Thoracic Surgeon, joined The Spark podcast and shared his expertise on the disease, risk factors, the importance of screenings, and more.

Lung cancer is commonly referred to as a “silent killer” because it may not show symptoms in the early stages. However, when it comes to early detection, it’s important not to ignore subtle warning signs.

“Sometimes people think their airways are just irritated,” Dr. Moritz explained. “But if something doesn’t go away with normal treatment, it’s time to get checked out.”
