Honesdale, PA (May 1, 2024)—Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers (WMCHC) is pleased to announce that Board-certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist Sheila Hockman, DO, has joined the Women’s Health Center. In addition to seeing patients at both the Honesdale and Dingmans Ferry offices, Dr. Hockman will facilitate births and perform surgical procedures at Wayne Memorial Hospital in Honesdale.

Dr. Hockman comes to Wayne Memorial with more than 20 years of experience. When asked to reflect on her two decades as an OB/GYN, she stated, “my father once told me ‘if you love your job you will never work a day in your life!’ After 20+ years I still haven’t started working.”

Dr. Hockman earned her medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her OB/GYN residency at St. Luke’s University Health Network in Allentown, PA. After spending close to 10 years in private practice providing services to women living in the states of West Virginia, South Carolina and Wisconsin, Dr. Hockman practiced most recently in Indiana and Pennsylvania for several health systems, including Lehigh Valley Physicians Group, Perry County Memorial Hospital and Ascension St. Vincent’s.

“Adding a fourth physician to our team is so exciting,” stated Christina MacDowell, DNP, CNM, women’s health care manager, WMCHC. “The arrival of Dr. Hockman offers increased access to women’s health services in Wayne and Pike counties,”

Dr. Hockman joins fellow OB/GYN physicians Eric Rittenhouse, MD, FACOG; Alexis Felsman, DO, FACOOG and Christine Phillips, DO.
