LaDora Field
More About Me Program
email: lfield@pennstatehealth.psu.edu
LaDora Field joined Center Stage in 2018 to pilot the “More About Me” program, a humanistic endeavor, where she visits inpatients to shed light on their personal interests outside of the medical sphere so that caregivers gain a better insight to them as a whole individual rather than a medical chart. Her academic background is in psychology and literature. In her career training, she has focused on echocardiography and non-invasive cardiology. She has worked in Hershey, Lancaster, and Oxford, England. LaDora spends the balance of her time serving as a board member to several non-profits and organizing fundraising events including Association of Faculty and Friends at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
We are thankful for our volunteers who host musical performances and support our programs.
