Dr. Beth DuPree's impressive credentials do not capture the humanitarian spirit with which she treats her patients, friends, and acquaintances. Dr. DuPree, a general surgeon who is focusing her practice on breast cancer care, believes that using a holistic approach to healing a patient is extremely important. It is her position that marrying both holistic therapies with state-of-the-art, leading-edge technology can lead to better outcomes--even in people with life-threatening disease, such as cancer.

Dr. DuPree strongly urges her patients to get alternative healing support, whether it is through clinical psychological therapy, spiritual assistance, grief counseling, exercise programs, reflexology, nutritional counseling, Reiki, Yoga, or massage. In fact, she herself has participated in all and believes that "whatever it takes to help a person find healing and peace is the way to curing them."

This vibrant, witty mother of two sons, whose skin-sparing mastectomies with plastic surgeon Robert Skalicky, D.O., were featured live on the Internet in October 1999, has won numerous awards for her medical work as well as her humanitarian endeavors. The above mentioned Web cast and subsequent television documentary received a coveted Gracie Allen Award in New York City in April 2000. Additionally, Dr. DuPree was given the Clara Barton Humanitarian Award from the American Red Cross for her on-going contributions to the treatment of breast cancer in 2002, the Visions of Hope Award in December 2002, the Northampton Township Citizen of the Month in February 2003, and the Women Pioneering the Future Award from the Pennsylvania Commission for Women in March 2003. She is on the advisory committee for Gilda's Club and the Young Survivor's Coalition for Young Breast Cancer Survivors.

In September 2002, Dr. DuPree chaired a fundraiser at St. Mary Medical Center to benefit Breast Cancer Healing Ministries, which raised over $55,000 to fund holistic and wellness therapies for women who would otherwise be denied these services due to financial hardships.

Dr. DuPree, who received her medical degree from Hahnemann University in 1987, is presently writing a book titled The Healing Consciousness. She has been the keynote speaker at numerous conferences and seminars, primarily in addressing women's health issues. Her next keynote address, Creating Balance in a Chaotic World, will take place in October 2003 at A Day For All Women Conference, and she will participate in a panel of physicians who will address women's health issues, including cancer, heart disease, geriatrics, and holistic therapies.

She recently filmed a training seminar with Ethicon Breast Care to educate physicians on the use of the hand-held Mammotome for minimally invasive breast biopsy and the removal of benign breast tumors.

A native of York, Pennsylvania, Dr. DuPree lives in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with her husband Joe and their two sons. Dr. DuPree credits her accomplishments to her family's constant support.
