WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – UPMC welcomes Nicholas Pytel, MD, MPH, as the new medical director for Occupational Health services in the Susquehanna region.

Dr. Pytel received his medical degree from Penn State College of Medicine, Hershey.

“Workplace injuries have significant costs for employees, employers, and the communities they reside in,” said Dr. Pytel. “As a provider in occupational and environmental medicine, I focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating work-related injuries and illnesses. A healthy, positive, and productive workforce leads to stronger family relationships, a healthier local economy, and helps create thriving communities that people want to be a part of.”
