CERTIFIED PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT LATEST TO JOIN HONESDALE PEDIATRIC CENTER  

Honesdale, PA (August 23, 2024) —Elizabeth Westendorf, PA-C, a certified physician assistant with 14 years’ experience, is now seeing patients at the Honesdale Pediatric Center. The center, one of four pediatric sites managed by Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers (WMCHC), is located at 1837 Fair Avenue offering primary care for patients from newborn to age 18.

Westendorf spent the last 10 years as a PA-C in West Babylon, NY on Long Island primarily in family medicine giving her the opportunity to work with all age groups. The change to pediatric-focused care is a welcome one, “I have always loved working with children,” she stated. “This is a perfect opportunity for me to expand my career.”

Westendorf received her Master of Physician Assistant Studies degree and Bachelor of Science degree in health sciences from Mercy College, Bronx, NY. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in biology from The College of St. Scholastica, Duluth, MN.

As an advanced practice pediatric provider, Westendorf, offers well-child visits, immunizations, medical evaluation, as well as treatment of chronic and acute conditions. She looks forward to working alongside current Honesdale Pediatric Center providers Meredith Hellstern, MD, FAAP; Stephen Cahoon, PA-C and Taryn Donnelly, PA-C.

WMCHC’s mission combined with Honesdale Pediatric Center’s team-based care model impressed Westendorf solidifying her decision to leave Long Island for rural Wayne County, “I was drawn to their mission of serving the community, especially in the pediatric population,” stated Westendorf adding “all staff members work together to provide the best quality of care to their patients.”

WMCHC Pediatric Services offers affordable care to all, accepting most managed care plans, commercial insurances and PA Medical Assistance. To make an appointment in the Honesdale office, call 570-253-5838. Visit www.wmchc.net for information on all of our services.
