Margaret Wilkins, D.O.,
Program Director


Family Medicine is alive at St Joseph Medical Center and vital to our community. As the only residency program at our hospital, we provide a great deal of service to the organization which allows for
incredible educational opportunities. The residency program is so well respected that we are often asked to serve as consultants on complicated surgical patients.


The medical staff at St. Joseph Medical Center went so far as to recommend closure of the ACGME Family Practice Residency Program in favor of the high quality osteopathic program.

I have lived in this community for the past 20 years. My sons have attended our public schools. Berks County has so many events, venues and restaurants that we have the luxury of choosing our leisure activities instead of settling for mundane happenings.

This has been a great community to live, work, and flourish in!

I hope you'll join our family!
