WILLIAMSPORT — This year’s Pennsylvania Medical Society Top Physicians Under 40 winners come from a diverse range of backgrounds. Included on this year’s list are two UPMC Susquehanna physicians, Angelica Kloos, DO, and Ashley Pence, DO.

Dr. Kloos is a child and adolescent psychiatrist with UPMC Susquehanna who has provided patient care to children in the Williamsport area for more than five years. She has been instrumental in developing innovative models of care to manage the needs of the rural community she serves. She is a member of the Lycoming County Medical Society Board.

Dr. Pence is a pediatrician with UPMC Susquehanna Pediatrics who practices full-scope general pediatrics. She recognized the need for obesity care in her community and recently became a diplomate with the American Board of Obesity Medicine. She is a faculty member with the Williamsport Family Medicine Residency Program and, in 2016, received the Teacher of the Year award. As a volunteer with the Junior League of Williamsport, she has helped organize several fundraisers to benefit her community.

“We are proud of Dr. Kloos and Dr. Pence for being recognized,” said David Lopatofsky, MD, chief medical officer, UPMC Susquehanna. “As young professionals in the medical field, this honor reflects recognition for their commitment to their patients, the excellent quality of care they provide, and the recognition of their contributions by physician peers.”

Winners were selected by a committee of Pennsylvania Medical Society member physicians. The 38 physicians on this year’s list represent 19 different medical specialties and live in 18 different cities. They include 20 women and 18 men who work in practice settings that range from large health systems to smaller medical practices.
