Meredith J Schellhase, PA-C

Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:Even in high school, I always knew I wanted to do something in medicine. During my time in our Healthcare Career Institute, I was able to learn and experience things first hand. I also met Physician Assistant Kevin Sanders, who worked in the Waynesboro Hospital Emergency Department. He sparked my interest in the physician assistant profession.I attended Saint Francis University in Loretto, Penn., where I completed my education and training. After college, I joined a private practice in Chambersburg before coming to Mont Alto.What I want my patients to know about me:I'm from the Waynesboro area. Originally, I was thinking about moving away from the area, but my family here made me want to stay. This is where I grew up and this is where I came to see my family doctor.What I do when I'm not seeing patients:I also coach gymnastics when I'm not seeing my patients.
