Elizabeth Mashkov has joined the staff at Health by Design Natural Clinic, in Leola. Mashkov

studied at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, attending both the nursing program and the Robert E. Cook Honors College, graduating with honors in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

Mashkov volunteered multiple times in the medical field over the course of the last seven years, including partnering twice with World Vision to raise funds for, and enhance community awareness of, malnutrition in certain cultures. She developed and taught a hand-washing program to school children. In addition, she worked with Esperanza Health Center, in North Philadelphia, providing door-to-door health screenings and teaching locals about hypertension, diabetes and HIV, and used that data during the health center’s Summer Medical Institute in order to move toward publication of the effects of progress in the community.

Committed to lifelong learning in the medical field, Mashkov’s knowledge is enhanced by the understanding of how the body is able to heal itself and thrive. She looks forward to partnering with Health by Design Natural Clinic to assist individuals with reaching their fullest potential in health and well-being.
