Philosophy of care | I care for everyone the best I can as a professional and a human being, recognizing each patient is unique. I provide compassionate care after listening intently to your concerns and making sure you fully understand your medical condition. We will work together as a team in setting goals and making decisions regarding your health. | Why I entered medicine | I have always had a desire to help people and enjoy doing it. I got my first medical job at 16 as a certified nursing assistant in a skilled nursing facility. Later, as a registered nurse in a hospital, I specialized in oncology after becoming close with my cancer patients. Their resilience, attitude and hope taught me not to sweat the insignificant and to cherish the important things in life each day. As an oncology nurse/nurse practitioner, I am privileged to be a part of so many exceptional individuals' journeys. | Community involvement | I spent a mission trip to Haiti installing water filters and providing food and evangelistic outreach. I support a child in Haiti through Hope for Kidz, which allows for education, medical care and nutrition. I support another child in Africa through Compassion International. My professional memberships include the Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology, the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and the Oncology Nurses Society. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending free time with my husband, adult children/family and Kai Siberian husky, a spoiled fur baby. We like motorcycle rides, camping and traveling – especially exploring new places in the states. Her top areas of expertise are ALK-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Smoldering Multiple Myeloma.

Philosophy of care | I want to really listen to people. What patients want is to not be a number but to feel the provider is really listening and invested in what’s happening. People appreciate if I take time to explain things two or three times. Good communication helps them understand better, participate more in decision-making and engage more fully in their care, all of which leads to better outcomes and health. | Why I entered medicine | When I was in middle school, I volunteered in the hospital once a week doing simple things like delivering tissue boxes or water bottles to patients. I found every patient had a story, and I wanted to go into every room and hear each one – the medical story, the social story, how they got there.  I just fell in love with the whole hospital scene. I grew up in the area and decided early that I wanted to work at LVHN. I started as a registered nurse (RN) because I wanted to be at the bedside. Later I decided could do more as a nurse practitioner. I chose family medicine because I like the idea of treating the whole family. When I see a newborn, I’ve already treated the parents and likely the grandparents. During that visit I feel like I’m seeing everybody, not just the newborn. When you know the whole family, you understand their dynamics – the medical history, how the parents feel about health, whether they’re agreeable to certain things or will carry out a treatment plan – and that affects the parents as well as their children. Those relationships ultimately benefit health. | Community involvement | I’ve worked at flu clinics through LVHN, have taught kids first aid through the National Wild Turkey Federation and do a lot of charity walks and runs. I’ve also been on church-related mission trips in the U.S. and went on a medical mission trip to Zambia when I was studying to be an RN. That trip lasted a month and involved helping with everything from working in schools to testing for malaria and HIV. I have young kids now but hope to do more mission trips when they get a bit older. | Personal interests | I enjoy running and doing events like 5Ks to benefit causes like Officer Down, breast cancer or domestic violence, as well as the Disney Half Marathon. I also enjoy swimming and cooking healthy recipes. A lot of my other interests revolve around spending time with my kids and being involved with all their activities.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy hinges on collaboration with patients and communication within the health care team to provide patient-centered, empathetic care. By considering patients holistically and focusing on education and advocacy, I aim to optimize their outcomes and prevent disease progression before it becomes an issue. | Why I entered medicine | Establishing relationships with patients and their families is deeply fulfilling to me. With my background as an RN in critical care and experience working with individuals in their homes, I have witnessed the consequences of poor disease management and inadequate preventive care. These issues often stem from a lack of knowledge, so my goal is to empower patients with the information needed to make the best decisions for themselves and their families. | Community involvement | Community service has been a cornerstone of my life, from earning the Presidential Student Service Award in high school to serving as the community service chair of my university’s Student Nurse Association. I am committed to serving my community any way I can. Currently, I volunteer with the Adalyn Rose Foundation, supporting families affected by pregnancy and infant loss. I also aspire to serve with an international organization that provides medical care worldwide. | Personal interests | I am passionate about nature and the outdoors. I enjoy hiking, kayaking, glamping and roasting marshmallows over the fire pit in my backyard. When not outdoors, I bring nature indoors by caring for my many houseplants. Additionally, I enjoy time with my family, cooking and reading.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is providing the best possible care to patients having a really bad day. That has always motivated me throughout a bedside nursing career in emergency medicine, trauma resuscitation and flight nursing. | Why I entered medicine | I entered nursing and eventually advanced practice nursing to help people and advocate for my patients when they are unable to do it for themselves. Medicine is a very rewarding career – and a way to give back to humanity like public or military service. | Community involvement | I grew up in a volunteer fire department and continue to support the fire service. My dad has been a fire chief over 40 years and has helped shape my career since I was 16. | Personal interests | Outside of work, I enjoy scuba diving, running and reading books. I’m also avid traveler, visiting 78 countries on six continents so far.

"Philosophy of care | I aim to provide compassionate, holistic, patient-centered care, treating every patient with dignity and respect, just as I would want my own family or myself to be treated. | Why I entered medicine | I always had a passion for helping others, and what better way than to become a nurse and advanced practitioner. I have worked in the ICU, allowing me to care and advocate for those during the most vulnerable times of their lives. | Community involvement | My community activities within LVHN include providing the public vaccines with the ""Flu Crew,"" organizing and coordinating the COVID vaccine clinic at LVH−Schuylkill, and a hospital-wide ""Blessing Bag"" collection for our local homeless shelter.

Amy Strauss is a Nurse Practitioner in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.

Philosophy of care | As a nurse practitioner, my philosophy is to provide individualized care to my clients by acknowledging their unique situations, educating patients and their families, and providing unconditionally compassionate, high-quality care. | Why I entered medicine | I began nursing in 2016 after graduating from Joseph F. McCloskey School of Nursing in Pottsville, Schuylkill County. As a nurse, I learned there is so much more our patients need in our community. I became a certified registered nurse practitioner (CRNP) to help patients to manage their chronic health issues, as well as to provide patients and their families education and support. | Personal interests | When I'm not caring for my patients, I enjoy reading as well as spending time with my family and pets. In the warmer months, I enjoy being on the lake and spending time outdoors.

Philosophy of care | I believe each patient deserves to be treated as an individual, and that no two patients are alike. I believe each patient is a partner in their own care, so keeping you educated about your health is vital. I will always provide you with the most up-to-date care, and I will never stop learning. | Why I entered medicine | I studied medicine to educate my patients and develop their care. I love getting you involved. Primary care focuses on helping patients learn about their health and then keeping them out of the hospital and as healthy as possible. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending free time with my husband and our two dogs, riding my Peloton and spending lots of time with our family and friends.
