HONESDALE, PA — Board-certified physician Susan Mowatt, M.D. was appointed as the primary care provider at the Honesdale VA Outpatient Clinic.

The clinic has been serving eligible veterans since 2014 as part of Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers (WMCHC). 

Dr. Mowatt joins Jessica Woodmansee in offering primary care; the office also offers women’s health services.

“I was actually born at Wayne Memorial Hospital and attended Wallenpaupack prior to pursuing further education,” said Dr. Mowatt. “I made the decision to work at the VA Clinic as an opportunity to return to the Honesdale area to practice and serve those who have served all of us.” 

She believes in the value of a local medical office for veterans. “This satellite office makes the pursuit of medical care easier for those in need of service, providing a closer geographic location than the primary site in Wilkes-Barre,” she said.

A practicing physician since 2001, Dr. Mowatt earned her medical degree from Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey. She completed her residency through the Williamsport Family Practice Residency Program, where she would later serve as an associate professor.

Dr. Mowatt began her medical career at the Loyalsock Family Practice of Susquehanna Health System in Williamsport, where she remained for five years as a family practice physician and later as medical director. 

Much of her career was spent as a solo practitioner at Keystone Family Practice in Hawley. She also worked weekends at the former Lake Region Urgent Care. 

Dr. Mowatt then worked at USP Canaan Federal Penitentiary and spent the last three years practicing primary care with Geisinger in central PA.

The Honesdale VA Outpatient Clinic is located at 600 Maple Ave.

It offers eligible veterans primary care including prevention, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. For more information, visit www.wmchc.net or call 570/251-6543.
