Hello new residents! My name is Autumn Kieber-Emmons, MD, MPH, and I work at LVHN as Vice-Chair for Research in the Dept of Family Medicine, and a faculty attending at our Federally Qualified Health Center residency site, NHCLV. I am local - born and raised in Berks County, growing up with Pennsylvania Dutch roots and heritage. After graduating from Boyertown High School, I attended college at Loyola University in Maryland, where I explored my interests in social justice and practiced Spanish by spending time in Oaxaca, Mexico, and El Salvador. I then attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia for my medical degree and continued to explore public health immersion experiences, with work at the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, in addition to time in Honduras and Guatemala. I took a year off in the middle of medical school to move back to Baltimore and complete my MPH in health policy at Johns Hopkins, learning effective avenues for change through local, state, and national policy. After graduation from medical school, I trained at UCSF-SFGH, an experience that prepared me for the clinical skills needed to provide high quality care in marginalized, under and uninsured immigrant communities. Since residency, I have been able to combine my clinical and policy interests through grant-funded research from NIH and the American Cancer Society looking at cancer disparities with a focus on vulnerable Hispanic communities, while continuing to provide full-spectrum primary care and prenatal care at the Neighborhood Health Centers of the Lehigh Valley. I enjoy spending time with my husband, our 4 children and family and friends, and I love music and the ocean.
