2012 - 40th After High School, I attended St. Margaret’s nursing school, graduating in 1976. After working at St. Clair Hospital for a few years as an RN, I decided to return and get a graduate degree at the University of Pittsburgh as a Primary Care Nurse Practitioner. After Pitt, I moved to Williamsport, Pa and accepted a position as faculty in the Williamsport Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program, where eventually I became an Associate Director in the Residency, and educator in the GYN curriculum. During this time, I developed and patented an endocervical sampling device called “CYTO-SLEEVE”, to detect abnormal cells during a cancer screening procedure called colposcopy. While in Williamsport, doing some amateur theater (Jesus Christ Superstar) I met my now husband Mike Armbruster. We’ve been married 29 happy years and reside in Williamsport with our 3 dogs. We love to travel, especially to Italy, and plan to return there for our 30th anniversary this spring. With a passion for Women’s Health and Holistic Health, I opened my own practice, New Beginnings Healthcare for Women, LLC in 2007 New Beginnings Healthcare for Women. The focus of my work is delivering exceptional care with attention to all aspects of the person-mind, body and spirit. After my many years in healthcare, my new practice had restored me as a healer and infused my work with more joy than ever. God-willing, I plan on continuing my healing ministry as long as I am able. Blessings to all for health, peace and joy!
