Beloved Cole Memorial Doctor Retires After 40 Years
For over 40 years, board-certified Obstetrician & Gynecologist (OB/Gyn) Celso Backes, MD has provided health care to thousands of women and delivered over 7,000 babies in the north-central region of Pennsylvania.
Sitting in his office at the Women’s Health Center at Cole Memorial, Dr. Backes said, “People have treated me so nice here. I’ve seen a lot of changes at Cole — I practiced during four CEO tenures, more than 70 doctors arriving and leaving and several building additions.”
