Dr. Anne M. Helwig

Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is simple. I view my role as part of a team along with parents, other caregivers, teachers and the patient. It is our job to help raise healthy, happy young adults. I try to stay current and true to the field of pediatrics and its constantly changing landscape. I try to be a careful, thoughtful and thorough diagnostician. I try to listen to parents and the patients, as this is critical to providing quality medical care. I enjoy helping to educate families in safety and preventative care. I am honored that parents allow me to care for their children, and I could not have chosen a more rewarding profession. | Why I entered medicine | I always liked science, particularly biology. I began nursing school at the University of Pennsylvania, and later switched to arts and sciences and graduated with a degree in biology. My first position was doing research for the division of endocrinology at the University of Connecticut Health Center. I learned that research was not my passion and ultimately, decided to go to medical school. Pediatrics was a natural choice as I have always wanted to work with kids. | Community involvement | I volunteer at my children's schools regularly. I am an active member at our church and support various charities and organizations such as the 6th Street Shelter in Allentown, the United Way and American Cancer Society. | Personal interests | I run regularly and love to cook. I mostly enjoy time with my husband and kids!.
