As former third generation Muncy business owners and lifelong residents, David and Joanie Wallis are proud to call Muncy home. David has served on the board of directors of UPMC Muncy, and Joanie is a leader in the hospital’s auxiliary.

When they think of UPMC Muncy, they don’t just think of a hospital. They consider it a gem for the entire region.

Relationships Matter

Whether it’s laboratory work, same-day procedures, or physical therapy services, Joanie and David know the team at UPMC Muncy are second to none in creating the best patient experience.

UPMC has also expanded the number of specialists visiting the clinic in Muncy, so more specialized care is available to the community.

When David recently needed heart care, he went to the emergency department at UPMC Muncy. The team there coordinated his transition to the Heart & Vascular Institute at UPMC Williamsport, where his cardiologist, Robert Trautwein, MD, cardiothoracic surgeons Leslie Webb, MD, and Michael Lazar, MD, completed an innovative heart valve procedure. The entire transition was seamless, and David and Joanie are grateful that the UPMC hospitals in the region work so well together to ensure quality care right here in the community.

“Trust means a lot in health care,” said David. “I know if they tell me at Muncy, I need more specialized care — they are going to get me to the right place at the right time.”
