Stocked with sweet and savory treats, the wagon offered caregivers a brief moment to pause, enjoy, and feel appreciated during this busy season.

For Nurse Practitioner Heike Kuehn, women’s health is personal. As part of our Women’s Health practice in Chadds Ford, she's a provider who believes that truly caring for women means remembering the details that shape their lives.

Heike makes it her mission to recall something meaningful about every patient — whether it’s a family experience, a recent trip, or a personal milestone — and bring it up at the next visit, even a year later. It’s her way of letting patients know: “I see you, and you matter.”

After years in critical care, Heike now focuses on building long-term relationships and supporting women through every stage of life, from birth control and perimenopause to menopause and beyond.

We’re grateful for compassionate caregivers like Heike who deliver personalized, thoughtful care every day.
