Protecting Your HealthLearn how we are caring for you and keeping you safe from infectious diseases in the hospital
Meet Our Doctors
If you have an infection, you will be cared for by one of our six infectious diseases physicians (in addition to your primary care team). We specialize in infectious diseases, such as influenza, HIV, malaria, measles, sexually transmitted diseases, West Nile virus, lyme disease, pneumonia and more. We’ll evaluate your symptoms and conduct tests in order to diagnose and treat the infection. Your doctor will refer you to us. We participate in most insurance plans, and see patients by appointment (unless you are a hospital patient). The only time you do not need a physician referral to contact our office is if you are traveling abroad and require vaccinations and immunizations. One of our Keystone Travel Medicine physicians will meet with you, review your travel plans and develop a care plan just for you. Keystone Travel Medicine does not participate with insurance plans. Payment is expected at the time of service. Appointments should be made 4-6 weeks before departure to insure vaccines take full effect before traveling. For more information about our services or to contact our office, call 610-402-CARE.

Q: I've heard that an increasing number of older adults are being admitted to hospitals with pneumonia. What is pneumonia and how dangerous is it for older adults?A: Pneumonia is a common and serious illness. It often begins with cold symptoms. A few days later, the person develops fever, chills, difficulty breathing and worsening cough. Older patients may not have all of these symptoms, but instead have confusion, dizziness, incontinence and/or a decreased appetite.
