"Philosophy of care | Every new patient I meet, along with their families and loved ones, is encouraged to be an active participant in the plan of care and subsequent recovery. While being diagnosed with cancer often leads one to feel as though they have ""lost control,"" people need to be empowered to regain that sense of control and a positive outlook going forward. Through open communication and education, that becomes more tangible. | Also, I am a member of the breast cancer multidisciplinary consultation team. Together we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care. | Why I entered medicine | The practice of medicine is the perfect mix of art and science - my two favorite subjects throughout early education. That, coupled with a strong desire to positively impact the lives of others, stimulated my interest early on in pursuing a career in medicine. With ongoing research and technical advances in virtually all fields, it is also a career path that promises unending challenges, intellectual stimulation and opportunities for continual improvement in patient outcomes. | Community involvement | Through a generous contribution of time and materials from a relative, I was able to supply our Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg gift shop with plush seat belt covers designed with my breast cancer patients in mind. One hundred percent of the proceeds are donated to the Pink Ribbon Fund helping our underserved community members get mammograms. We are on our second shipment and hope to continue providing comfort and financial assistance to customers and benefactors, respectively. | Personal interests | Along with busy and fulfilling careers, my husband and I try to keep involved with our two children's academic and extracurricular activities as much as possible. When our schedules permit, we enjoy brief getaways to the beach and all of the amenities there. Finally, if the opportunity presents itself, I enjoy experimenting with recipes (especially baking) and jewelry design. I hope to one day take a course in more advanced skills and techniques beyond what I have taught myself so far.". Dr. Blauth is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Primary Lymphoma of the Brain.
