Hear Dr. John Breinholt, division chief of Pediatric Cardiology at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital, explain congenital heart disease, the importance of early detection through prenatal ultrasounds and newborn screenings, and how timely interventions lead to better outcomes. He also discusses how genetic testing helps diagnose the cause of heart defects, providing families with crucial information.

Dr. Samantha Butts, Penn State Health’s chief of Infertility and Reproductive Endocrinology, addresses infertility, conditions like endometriosis or hormonal imbalances that can cause infertility, and how a reproductive endocrinologist can help diagnose and treat these issues. She also discusses the growing field of reproductive endocrinology and the benefits of egg preservation (egg freezing), which is particularly useful for individuals facing medical treatments like chemotherapy or those wanting to delay pregnancy.

Both services will be available at a number of our locations, including Leader Heights in York as of March 2025.
