Laura Poskitt, DO

Pediatrician

Dr. Laura Poskitt, a board-certified Pediatrician, joined the Clinic for Special Children in July 2019. Her training as a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) makes her passionate about healing of the whole person, focusing on specific medical needs, but also exploring the social, mental, and emotional aspects of health.

She is a native of Lancaster County and graduated from Hempfield High School. Dr. Poskitt and her husband, Will, have a young son Oliver, and a daughter, Violet. In her free time she enjoys reading historical fiction, traveling to new places, and visiting art museums.

Why are you passionate about the Clinic?

I feel privileged to work at CSC!  It is an opportunity to practice medicine in an ideal environment. At CSC, the staff functions like a family and is able to work with some of the most wonderful patients and families. At the same time, CSC provides care using cutting-edge technology and novel genetic research. This combination allows CSC to be a place for compassionate care while working towards a brighter future. I am excited about the work CSC is doing, and even more excited about what is to come.
