Philosophy of care | I strive to develop a professional relationship with my patients and explain the diagnosis and treatment of their illness as we collaborate on a care plan. I discuss the risks and benefits of procedures and medications so they understand their chronic illness and prognosis. It's also important patients have a say in any changes in the plan of care. I try to anticipate their needs and get other services involved to keep them at home and out of the hospital. | Why I entered medicine | I served in the Peace Corps in Ghana, West Africa. I saw how much community members cared for each other, especially for the sick and elderly, but there was insufficient medical resources or knowledge to make an impact. When I got back to the U.S., I worked very hard to get into medical school. Throughout my postgraduate medical training I was fortunate to have mentors and experiences that exposed me to a wide variety of patients.  I am very grateful to give back to my hometown community. | Community involvement | I am a member of the St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Red Hill, Montgomery County. | Personal interests | I am an avid Formula 1, Phillies and Liverpool FC fan. I spend my free time with my kids riding ATVs and enjoying the outdoors. Dr. Oswald is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy is in line with the philosophy of osteopathic medicine – that the body is not individual organ systems working separately but works together as a whole. Each organ system affects the others and should be treated that way, including the body and the mind. When I treat patients (either in the intensive care unit or in the outpatient pulmonary office setting), I not only treat the lungs or the individual disease itself, but the entire patient. | Why I entered medicine | There are so many reasons why I entered medicine. The number one reason is having a career that actually helps people. I meet so many kind and caring patients that I get to know well over the years and these relationships have helped me be a better physician. The field of medicine is ever changing, never becomes routine and allows me to be a lifelong learner. I wanted to be a physician since I was a kid and could not imagine myself doing anything else. | Community involvement | I volunteer frequently at my children's schools and coach my daughter's softball team. The CrossFit community I belong to frequently does community charity events and my family and I often participate. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my husband and three girls! We enjoy boating, skiing (on the water and the snow), learning guitar and many other activities. I also like to stay active and do CrossFit and run regularly. Exercise keeps me happy and sane!.
