Jason Citarella

Staff Dynamic v1.1

"From my earliest memory of being asked 'What do you want to be when you grow up?', after 'playing for the New York Yankees' was clearly not going to happen, my answer was 'being a doctor for kids'.  I believe that this was a calling to help others, especially children and families.  For the past 20 years, I have had the privilege and the joy of being able to play a small role in the health of many children and their families.  I look forward to continuing my journey as a pediatrician.  I am thrilled for the opportunity to start a new chapter here at PHA."

"There is no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way it treat it's children."  - Nelson Mandela
