The Wright Centers for Community Health and GME

Today, we're also proud to honor three extraordinary Northeast Counties Medical Society physicians from The Wright Center: 🌟 Timothy Burke, DO - Internal Medicine Dr. Burke embodies the mission of The Wright Center in everything he does. As his nominator shares, "he takes a thoughtful, patient-centered approach that prioritizes dignity, trust, and continuity. His patients know him not only as a skilled clinician, but as a steady presence who listens, educates, and partners with them in their care." 🌟 William Dempsey, MD - Family Medicine Dr. Dempsey has served across private practice, emergency departments, correctional health, occupational medicine, and community-based primary care, and through it all, his nominator tells us, he has "maintained an ironclad commitment to caring for every patient with dignity, hope, and persistence." Dr. Dempsey is also PAMED's 3rd District Trustee! 🌟 Erin McFadden, MD - Hospitalist Words from her nominator say it best: Dr. McFadden "represents the absolute best of what a physician can and should be: a clinician of uncommon skill, a teacher who changes the trajectory of lives, and a leader whose decisions strengthen the health of Northeast Pennsylvania and beyond every single day." Dr. Burke, Dr. Dempsey, and Dr. McFadden, thank you for your service and unwavering commitment to the people of Northeast Pennsylvania. 💙 #DoctorsDay2026 #DoctorsDay

The Aledade FIRST program addresses #PrimaryCare workforce shortages by providing early-career physicians with a dedicated curriculum in #ValueBasedCare and the essential tools to succeed in modern primary care settings. @WrightCenters recently shared how this mission-driven program helps residents like Sandra Rabat, DO, Enrico Pelicci, MD, and Ramsha Khan, DO (pictured), bridge the gap between academic medicine and the needs of under-resourced populations.
