Philosophy of care | Being a physician is a privilege that comes with immense responsibility. We see patients frequently at their worst and most vulnerable times. We must always be able to answer to ourselves that we treated every patient with the same skill and respect we would our own loved ones. | Why I entered medicine | When I was working as a school teacher, I realized I enjoyed and found it rewarding to help students and their families with problems, a lot of which were unrelated to the subject I taught. This led to me considering medicine as a profession. | Community involvement | I am a founding board member of the Hazleton Integration Project (HIP). HIP seeks to bridge the gap and unite the different cultures that live in the Hazleton area. The Hazleton One Community Center, developed and sustained by HIP, serves the needs of greater than 2000 children weekly through multiple programs. The philosophy is that by having different cultural groups spend time together in various activities they will develop an appreciation for each other. | Personal interests | Basketball and personal fitness | Home renovation | Travel.

Philosophy of care | I believe children are a unique population of patients that require a physician dedicated to their well-being. I believe they are vulnerable and often unable to speak up for themselves. I believe that each child and family should be treated as if they are my own relation. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine for the satisfaction of being able to help and offer hope to those who are ill. I chose pediatric hematology oncology because these children have a serious illness and their parents are at the lowest point of their lives, and I can provide them with hope and compassion. | Community involvement | I volunteer at Camp Dost, a camp for children with cancer. Since 2003 I have helped there, and love seeing how this experience helps kids who are dealing with cancer enjoy time just being kids. | Personal interests | I enjoy many types of sports, but specifically like basketball, baseball, football, and golf. I also like to go canoeing and doing physical fitness activities. Dr. Troutman is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Sickle Cell Disease.
