HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Medical Society released its list of this year’s Top Physicians Under 40, which includes a doctor of osteopathy who practices in Coudersport.

Dr. Andrea Heller, D.O., is a family medicine and palliative care physician with UPMC Cole.

Fellowship-trained in palliative care, she serves as UPMC Cole’s medical director for home health, hospice and palliative care. Dr. Heller is active in educating her community regarding end-of-life care and decision making.

Her colleagues view her as a compassionate physician who works closely with patients to help them make health care decisions.

Winners were nominated by colleagues and ultimately selected by a statewide committee of Pennsylvania Medical Society members. To appear on the list, physicians must practice in Pennsylvania and be under the age of 40 on Dec. 31, 2019.

The 42 physicians on the 2019 list represent 19 different medical specialties and live in 19 different cities.
