Robin Hicks, DO Q: Where do you practice and why did you settle in your present location or community?
Q: W hat are your hobbies and interests when you’re not working?
A: I am currently a third-year family practice resident physician at Heart of Lancaster Regional Medical Center (HLRMC) in Lititz. My fiancé, an internal medicine resident physician, and I both went to medical school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and we couples matched at HLRMC. We chose Lancaster because it is a wonderful area to live, a perfect mix for us between country and city, plus it is part way between my family in Massachusetts and his family in North Carolina.
A:
I love being physically active by running, swimming, weight training, hiking, and skiing. Music is also a big part of my life, and I love singing with the Music for Everyone chorus, as well as with my sister and parents. I also play the flute and the trombone. Additionally, I love to bake, cook, and create interesting recipes. I also love traveling and spending time with my fiancé, family, and good friends.
Q: What do you like best about practicing medicine? Q: 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?
A: I like many different aspects of practicing medicine. There is so much variety, and you literally never have the same day twice, especially in family medicine. More importantly though, I love practicing medicine because I am able to help improve my patients’ lives every day, using everything I have learned over my many years of training.
A: I initially became a member of the Lancaster City & County Medical Society because I was nominated by Dr. Stacey Denlinger to replace her as the HLRMC resident representative on the Board. I am so glad that I joined, because I have found that the medical society allows physicians from all over Lancaster County to communicate and work together, despite being employed by different institutions. I also value the fact that the Medical Society gives physicians of Lancaster County a collective voice to help induce change in the county as well as at the state level.
Q: Are you involved in any community, non-profit, or professional organizations? If so, please list the groups: A:
Y es, I am a member of the Music For Everyone Lancaster Community Chorus. We meet every Monday night and have numerous concerts throughout the year at churches, festivals, as well as retirement and nursing homes. I also am a member at the Universal Athletic Club.
