The Wright Center Physician Recognized by ACP

The American College of Physicians (ACP) recently recognized Dr. Jignesh Y. Sheth, chief medical officer for The Wright Center for Community Health and senior vice president of enterprise IT, clinical operations and education integration, during National Mentoring Month for making a positive impact on the internal medicine community through mentorship.

Dually board certified in internal medicine and addiction medicine, Sheth received a certificate of appreciation from ACP in recognition of his commitment to mentoring and the positive impact of his mentorship in the internal medicine community. National Mentoring Month is observed every January.

Sheth received the national honor after Dr. Sandeep Mandal, a postgraduate year-one resident physician in the Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education Internal Medicine Residency, shared with ACP how his mentor has had a positive impact on his life and medical residency.

“Mentors play an important role in the development of their mentees and the greater internal medicine community,” Dr. Darilyn V. Moyer, CEO and executive vice president of ACP, wrote in a letter addressed to Sheth. “We are grateful for ACP members like yourself, who share their experience and expertise through mentorship in order to help their internal medicine colleagues grow and advance personally and professionally.”

In addition, Sheth also sees adult patients for primary care, and internal and addiction medicine at The Wright Center for Community Health Mid Valley Practice, 5 S. Washington Ave., Jermyn. He is accepting new patients.
