ELIZABETHTOWN FAMILY HEALTH CENTER

Patrick E. Gilhool, DO, acquired Elizabethtown Family Health Center in 2002 with a goal to provide the community with access to high quality health care. In 2018 he partnered with Family Practice Center, PC. (FPC) who shared the same values. Dr. Gilhool is a compassionate physician committed to serving the community with expert medical care. FPC shares these values as a physician-led organization that is committed to the health and well-being of every patient. FPC is an organization that has fulfilled its vision to be physician-led, community driven, and provide first-class care over the last 50 years.

The Family Practice Center Elizabethtown office, located at 300 Maytown Road, has had steady patient growth due to consistently high patient satisfaction levels. To meet the health care needs of their growing community, this office made it a priority to add professional staff to the team.

Patrick E. Gilhool DO, Christopher D. Brabazon, DO, and Caitlin Reeser, PA-C, work side by side with nursing staff and the front office team to provide a full spectrum of high-quality, comprehensive medical care. As a primary-care practice serving all members of the family from newborn to geriatrics, the goal is to always deliver firstclass quality medical care at every age and stage of their patients’ lives. This includes those in personal care home or nursing facility settings. Dr. Gilhool routinely visits and serves this population of patients at multiple different facilities in the surrounding areas.

While patient satisfaction and experience are the top priorities, the practice is also committed to maintaining a positive environment for the staff and physicians. Having an attitude of gratitude towards patients for choosing FPC, this office strives to exceed expectations in all aspects of care.

Where do you practice and why did you settle in your present location or community?

I practice at Penn State Health Medical Group – Prospect in Columbia, PA and have lived in Lancaster since 2014. My husband, Steve, and I are both Temple med grads and native to the Philadelphia area. Steve was a physician for the U.S. Army, and after graduation, we migrated south to the DC area and then down to Savannah, GA. After eight years of working in beautiful Savannah, having two children, and eventually adjusting to civilian life, we decided on a move to be closer to family. Job opportunities guided us to Lancaster, but we were quickly drawn to the area’s friendly culture and unique diversity. We knew Lancaster would be a wonderful place to raise a family and was going to be our home.

What do you like best about practicing medicine?

Patient education. Whether in the form of explaining to a patient what high blood pressure or diabetes is and how it affects their body or teaching about disease prevention, I believe helping patients understand their health is a vital responsibility of a family physician.

Are you involved in any community, non-profit, or professional organizations?

I am a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians, the Pennsylvania Medical Society, and I’m an active supporter of World Vision International.

What are your hobbies and interests when you’re not working?

I enjoy regular exercise with running/HIIT and weightlifting to stay active, healthy and balanced. I also love to cook and bake and am always on the lookout for new recipes. I really cherish family time with my husband and two girls, whether playing simple games at home, watching the Eagles (Go Birds!) or exploring the National Parks. We are looking forward to our upcoming trip to Yosemite in the spring!

For what reason(s) did you become a member of the Lancaster City & County Medical Society and what do you value most about your membership?

I joined to get to know more about and support other physicians in the community. I value the voice and opportunities the Society offers to its members.
