Penn State Obstetrics and Gynecology Community
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Community service is a significant component of our patient care, research, and education missions. We partner with other community service organizations, such as the Bethesda Mission, to improve the quality of life throughout Pennsylvania. Our staff is also involved with international programs such as the Global Health Center.
In support of our community service mission, Penn State Obstetrics and Gynecology offers expert speakers on women’s health issues encompassing the entire spectrum obstetric and gynecological care.
We can provide current updates to groups of healthcare providers, students, or members of the community. We are also available to participate in community events such as health fairs.
For further information on topics and availability, please call (717) 531-8629.
