Where do you practice and why did you settle in your
present location or community?
Upon graduation from LGH FP residency, I knew that Lancaster County
was the place for me to practice. I joined Trout Run Family Practice, now
WellSpan Family Medicine -Trout Run, and have been there ever since.
Lancaster is very accepting of family physicians. I have the great fortune
to be able to practice obstetrics in addition to the busy outpatient work.
Obstetrics within a traditional family practice is becoming more and
more rare. Having fellow Lancaster residents put their trust in me is very
humbling. I am now performing driver's physicals on kids I delivered
years ago. Soon, I will be delivering babies for kids I delivered...makes
me feel old.
What do you like best about practicing medicine?
I like the whole thing. Practicing such a breadth of care keeps me on my toes.
Are you involved in any community, non-profit, or professional organizations? If so, please list the groups:
I am a member of the PA Academy of Family Physicians as well as a
Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians at the National
Level. And, of course, I am a member of the Lancaster City & County
Medical Society.
What are your hobbies and interests when you're
not working?
I am an avid gardener. I like to grow most of my plants from seeds, starting them in the depths of winter. It's like getting a jump start on spring.

JOSEPH J.
IRWIN, MD

I also play the piano, and I play almost every day. I am particularly fond
of Chopin, Liszt and Rachmaninoff. Playing the piano is my therapy. If I
had more time, I would resume lessons because I have developed such
sloppy habits that I believe are impeding my progress. On my bucket
list is to achieve a reasonable rendition of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody
#2. When I was a child and watched Bugs Bunny play that, I became
determined to learn the piano and play that song. It is an elusive goal
for me right now, but I do pull it out every once in a while and muddle
through some measures. I am not a virtuoso, but I wish I were. You can't
have everything.
Lastly, I am quite fond of going on hikes. My wife, Lori, shares this passion with me, and we arrange a lot of trips around this activity. We are
fortunate to have been all over: Yosemite, Teton, Bryce, Grand Canyon,
Zion, Acadia, Shenandoah, Smokies and many other places. However,
it is truly amazing to just hop down to Tucquan Glen in our very own
Lancaster County and spend a few hours. It's quite a gem.
For what reason(s) did you become a member of the
Lancaster City & County Medical Society and what do
you value most about your membership?

I appreciate the advocacy efforts made by our local society.
