🖤💛 PA WEEK | OCTOBER 6–12 🩺

Did you know that Physician Associates (PAs) are among the most extensively trained healthcare professionals in medicine?

The PA profession has become an essential part of modern healthcare, and the numbers speak for themselves.

📊 A few facts that might surprise you:

🎓 2,000+ hours of clinical rotations during graduate-level PA education, with training across medical and surgical specialties.

🏥 Over 200,000 PAs nationwide, providing care in everything from primary care and emergency medicine to cardiology, surgery, and critical care.

🩺 Approximately 12 MILLION patient interactions every week across the United States.

⭐ 90% of U.S. adults surveyed recognize PAs as trusted healthcare providers.

So, what can a PA actually do?

PAs are licensed medical professionals trained to evaluate patients, diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medications, perform advanced procedures, interpret laboratory testing and imaging, develop treatment plans, and manage both acute and chronic illnesses.

At Happy Health & Wellness Scranton, we're proud to have three outstanding PAs leading the way:

🩺 Amanda Gilmartin, PA-C

🩺 Karah Laboranti, PA-C

🩺 Mark DeLeo, PA-C

Our philosophy goes beyond treating illness. We believe exceptional healthcare means taking the time to understand the whole patient, focusing on prevention, identifying underlying health concerns, and developing individualized plans that support long-term wellness.

Advanced medical training. Comprehensive care. A personalized approach.

That's the difference we strive to deliver every day at HHW Scranton.

💛 Happy PA Week!

Meet Amanda, RN 🤍

After 3.5 years in the ICU caring for critically ill patients, Amanda realized she didn’t just want to treat illness — she wanted to help prevent it. Seeing patients at their sickest sparked her passion for root-cause care, lifestyle optimization, and helping people become healthy and happy before they ever reach a crisis point.

These days, you’ll find her in the IV lounge, starting lines with ease and casually breaking down the ins and outs of nutrition like it’s her favorite hobby. She recently became a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor through Functional Nutrition Alliance, her knowledge runs deep, from micronutrients to metabolism, and she brings that functional medicine foundation into every patient interaction.

Fun, high-energy, and genuinely passionate about wellness, Amanda is the kind of nurse who makes you feel comfortable, informed, and inspired, all in one visit. We’re lucky to have her as part of the HHW team 🤍

📣 WE’RE GROWING — AND HIRING ANOTHER PA-C!

Happy Health & Wellness Scranton continues to grow, and we’re excited to add another full-time Physician Assistant to our team!

Our providers have the opportunity to manage both acute and chronic conditions while incorporating preventative, functional, and integrative approaches into patient care. We value clinical autonomy, teamwork, professional growth, and giving providers the time and resources to actually take care of their patients.

Meet Madyson, our US technician ✨

If you’re a patient at Happy Health & Wellness, chances are you already know and love Mady. 🤍

Mady has one of the most unique roles at Happy Health & Wellness — running our Elite Yearly Physical Exams, the heart of our preventative medicine practice. If you’re a patient of ours, you’ll see Mady every year for your big annual testing… and somehow, she makes a long physical actually FUN. The laughter coming from her back office on the daily says it all. 😂🤍

After spending years in the hospital performing ultrasounds on acutely sick patients once disease had already progressed, Mady is now on the front lines of prevention — helping us identify potential problems before they ever have the chance to become something bigger.

She is bubbly, warm, friendly, and makes everyone feel instantly comfortable, while also being incredibly knowledgeable, dependable, and thorough. Mady has been with us since day one, and quite simply, Happy Health & Wellness wouldn’t be preventative care without her. 🫶🏼

We love you, Mady! 🤍🩺✨

Meet Our Provider & Owner: Mark DeLeo PA-C ⚕️

After a decade practicing emergency medicine in hospitals across the country, Mark has seen healthcare from every angle and treated patients when their health mattered most.

Mark’s career in healthcare started as a teenager, volunteering as a local EMT. He went on to serve as Lead Advanced Practice Clinician in the Emergency Department at Regional Hospital of Scranton, practice at Boston Medical Center’s Level I Trauma Center, and work in emergency departments throughout Texas.

Fitness and performance have always been a major part of Mark’s life. His lifelong involvement in athletics, including strength training and jiu jitsu, has shaped the way he approaches health and wellness. Years of training have given him a firsthand appreciation for the difference between being “healthy” on paper and actually feeling, functioning, and performing at your best.

Today, he combines that mindset with modern medicine to help patients build strength, improve body composition, optimize hormones and metabolism, recover better, and perform at their highest level.

After years on the front lines of medicine, Mark moved home with a new focus: helping patients maximize their health today while building the foundation for a stronger, healthier future.

🩺 What if you could catch a health concern before it became a serious problem?

Our Elite Physical goes beyond a routine annual exam. Using advanced diagnostics and preventative testing, we can uncover health concerns that often go unnoticed—before symptoms ever appear.

We've had patients discover conditions like thyroid nodules and cancer, vascular issues, and other underlying concerns they never knew they had, allowing them to seek treatment early when it matters most.

The best part? Our Elite Physicals are covered by most major insurance plans, making it easier than ever to take a proactive approach to your health.

Don't wait until something feels wrong. Schedule your Elite Physical today and invest in your future wellness. 💛

We are looking to expand staffing. We have 2 Full Time Registered Nurse (RN) & 2 Full Time Medical Assistant (MA) positions available.
