I am a physician assistant at St. Luke’s Anderson Pediatrics and also in the newborn nursery at St. Luke’s Anderson Campus. I believe that I have the best job in the world! To witness the first few days of a newborn’s life is amazing. The opportunity to watch that infant grow and develop into their own unique self is truly a privilege. I have always wanted to work in pediatrics, and I love it! For me, the unexpected part has been how much I enjoy witnessing and supporting parents in the most important job in the world. I am a mom of three children, and I am a mom first. I will never recommend anything for your child that I wouldn’t do for my own.
I am passionate about the role that nutrition and physical fitness play in the quality of our lives as we age. I believe that it is crucial to instill these healthy habits from a very early age.
I graduated from the University of Delaware with a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and dietetics. After working for several years as a dietitian, I returned to school to obtain my master’s degree in physician assistant studies from Drexel University.
Outside of work, I enjoy working out, hiking, taking walks with friends, going to the beach and spending time with my children. I travel to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where my family lives, as frequently as possible.
“Love Jennifer Canning beyond excellent provider!!!”
