Emily Friesen Burkholder

Emily Friesen Burkholder is a women's health nurse practitioner at Penn State Health Obstetrics and Gynecology on Bernville Road in Reading. The office is a hospital-based group with OB/GYNs, nurse midwives and a urogynecologist, and it covers women from puberty through pregnancy and into the years after menopause. Penn State Health's Berks women's care page lists menopause and perimenopause care among its gynecology services and says the team helps with hot flashes and night sweats, trouble sleeping, mood changes, bone density loss and urinary incontinence. On her own page she says she aims to give patients a safe place to ask questions, and she counts menopause among the life stages she likes to support them through. She started her nursing career at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania caring for leukemia and lymphoma patients, then moved to the labor and delivery unit there. Visits are billed to insurance and appointments are made by calling the office, and the site does not say which menopause treatments she uses.
