Northern Light Mercy Hospital has brought on Kendra Andrews and Kate Delewsk who will provide surgical and non-surgical treatments at the hospital’s Portland Ear, Nose, and Throat office.
This practice treats adult and pediatric patients with various head and neck disorders, including hearing loss, sleep apnea, ear ringing, voice and swallowing conditions, balance disorders and more.
Andrews, an audiologist, says her role is to guide patients and families to a position where they are empowered with the knowledge to make the best decisions for themselves. Her goal is to help maximize the psychosocial well-being of each patient by providing individualized auditory rehabilitation.
Before joining the hospital, she was a clinical audiologist at a medical center in Washington, D.C.
Andrews earned her bachelor’s degree from Columbia College Chicago and her doctorate of audiology from Northern Illinois University. Her clinical interests include hearing evaluations and auditory rehabilitation, focusing on serving infants and adolescents.
Delewski has been a physician assistant for nearly 20 years and has been with Northern Light Mercy Hospital for nearly a decade. During that time, she worked in primary and walk-in care.
She enjoys working with people to truly understand what they are facing and loves the field of medicine because it is so dynamic and there are always new developments on the horizon. Delewski earned her bachelor’s degree from Denison University in Ohio and completed her physician assistant master’s degree at the University of New England.
The new specialist will practice at Northern Light Mercy Ear, Nose, and Throat Care in the Northern Light Mercy Health Center at 195 Fore River Parkway in Portland.
