DDC Clinic Opens Pennsylvania Office
April 30, 2024
After significant planning, hard work, and generous support from our friends, we’re pleased to announce the opening of DDC Clinic’s new satellite location in western Pennsylvania.
Our new Titusville office, which opened on February 15th, brings highly specialized healthcare close to Spartansburg and other Plain communities. For years, Amish families from Pennsylvania have made the two-hour trip to our clinic in Middlefield to get testing and medical care for their special needs children. Since many of the genetic disorders diagnosed in Amish families in Pennsylvania and Ohio are the same, DDC Clinic’s doctors understand how to treat these disorders
“Pennsylvania families came all the way to our clinic because there were no physicians near them who could diagnose and treat these rare genetic diseases,” said Dr. Heng Wang, DDC Clinic Medical Director. “There was a very real need for us to bring our services to their area. With our new clinic in Titusville, families now have affordable, expert medical care close to home, and many more families will be able to access the special care their children need.”
Offering primary and urgent care to both Amish and non-Amish children and adults with genetic disorders, the Titusville clinic is staffed by an experienced family nurse practitioner and certified medical assistant who handle most patient needs. Our Middlefield physicians, Dr. Wang and Dr. Cruz, provide additional care, visiting our Titusville clinic about once a month to see patients. When genetic laboratory testing is needed, patient’s blood samples are sent to DDC Clinic’s lab in Middlefield.
Nicole Stevens, family nurse practitioner and head of our Titusville office, was already familiar with DDC Clinic before she joined our team. She previously owned and operated a private practice which provided affordable healthcare to uninsured families. During that time, she worked closely with Amish families, and began her relationship with DDC Clinic working to diagnose and coordinate treatment for local families with genetic disorders.
“I’m honored to be a part of DDC Clinic’s Titusville office and serve as the local provider of specialized care to those who are affected by genetic disease,” said Nicole.
Housed in a former urgent care center, Titusville’s DDC Clinic location is equipped with three exam rooms, and has been freshly updated with new flooring, lighting, paint and a wider door to accommodate wheelchairs. The cheery, comfortable waiting room, a hallmark of DDC Clinic, is a welcoming space, featuring an Amish quilt hanging on the wall and a collection of toys for children.
Our new DDC Clinic office is located at 150 W. Central Ave, Suite 1, in Titusville.
