Hello, I’m Joe Patruno and am a proud member of the OBGYN Department and faculty at Lehigh Valley Health Network where I’ve worked for the past 15 years.

I have played multiple roles in our department including the Chief of Gynecology and also the OBGYN Program Director for 8 years. More recently I have served as our health networks Medical Staff President and currently serve as our systems Chief Wellness Officer.

Women’s health, education, and how best to create a culture of wellbeing for our clinicians and care teams are my passions. I enjoy working with residents and students in the clinical setting, as well as, in the simulation lab. My practice focus is chronic pelvic pain and vulvar disorders and my goal is to have you graduate with a keen knowledge of how to best manage these challenging conditions both in the office setting with procedures and in the operating room surgically.

Outside of the hospital I enjoy spending time with my 3 children and wife Megan who is the Associate Athletic Director at Muhlenberg College. We are lucky to be part of two great communities in LVHN and Muhlenberg and adore exploring and being part of the great Lehigh Valley. I enjoy biking, tennis, and traveling and look forward hopefully to working with you in the future.
