Hello! My name is Dawn Hoover and I’m the HBOT Director at Madden & Gilbert Physical Therapy in Harrisburg. We are excited to offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a safe and innovative healthcare option, to the Central Pennsylvania community. HBOT helps the body absorb more oxygen than normally possible, allowing it to recover quickly, fight infections and heal naturally.

My Journey

I’ve always been passionate about holistic, regenerative, and restorative medicine. For over a decade, I worked as a Physical Therapist Assistant in Harrisburg and Lancaster and then took a break to raise my children as a stay-at-home mom. Now, I’m back to work helping people overcome their health challenges and achieve their wellness goals.

A Little About Me:

  • I live in Harrisburg, PA, with my three children, two dogs, a cat, and a snake.
  • Crocheting is a hobby of mine, and I specialize in star blankets.
  • I am fluent in French.
  • I’m a huge high school and college wrestling fan, especially Penn State. I even have season tickets!
  • I’m learning volleyball and love to pepper with my family and friends.
  • I enjoy hiking in the mountains and sitting by campfires.
  • Fall is my favorite season. I like the crisp air, beautiful colors, and making apple dumplings, pumpkin whoopie pies, and apple butter.
  • I love optical illusions and stereograms.
  • I once won a trip to the Reading Music Festival in the UK and met Chris Cornell, Rob Zombie, Neil Young, and others. Now, if only I could meet Dave Grohl!
  • My father was a race car driver.
