WARSAW — Two new medical providers are ready to serve Kosciusko County residents’ health needs.
Charles Hill, III, DO, Parkview Physicians Group (PPG) – Pediatrics, and Tawny Avila, DO, Parkview Physicians Group – Family Medicine, have begun welcoming patients at their offices in the medical office building on the Parkview Kosciusko Hospital campus, 1355 Mariners Drive, Warsaw.
“We are very pleased to expand access to local care with the arrival of these skilled physicians,” said Scott Gabriel, market president, Parkview Health Northwest. “Patients will find Dr. Hill and Dr. Avila caring, knowledgeable partners in their health care.”
Charles L. Hill, III, DO, PPG – Pediatrics Dr. Hill completed his residency in pediatrics at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent in Indianapolis. As pediatric chief resident, he served as the staff physician in the outpatient clinic and the hospital’s Level 2 newborn nursery. He earned his medical degree (Doctor of Osteopathy) from Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Indianapolis.
Hill pursued his undergraduate studies at Purdue University, earning a bachelor’s degree in clinical laboratory science. Prior to medical school, he worked as a microbiology technician in the labs at Wishard and Eskenazi hospitals in Indianapolis, and at Purdue, he helped train and educate anatomy and physiology students in lab science applications.
Hill is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
During a medical school rotation in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU), Hill says he discovered a passion for taking care of sick children.
“I found it gratifying not only to help the children but also to assist their families in navigating those difficult times,” he said. “As their pediatrician, I get to establish relationships with my young patients that grow as they do. It’s a privilege to be part of their life journeys and those of their families.”
Hill approaches care for each child holistically: “I don’t just look at the specific issue that prompted them to come see me,” he said. “And because a problem that affects a pediatric patient also affects the family, I make sure to address related issues for family members, too. It’s important to take time to listen to them. By addressing their specific questions and concerns, I can calm most anxieties that arise around having to bring
one’s child to the pediatrician.”
Outside of work, Hill enjoys cooking, gardening, reading, camping, hiking and otherwise spending time with friends and family, including his cats, Zap and Annabel Lee.
