Peyton Holowsko is a new provider at PentaHealth Family Practice West Chester! Peyton started at this office three years ago as a Registered Nurse and is now a Nurse Practitioner. Her new role started on May 1^st, 2025, and she is accepting new patients.

Peyton earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from La Salle University in 2020. She started her career as an RN in the Surgical Trauma ICU with Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia. Her pursuit of a Master of Science in Nursing degree began with her undergraduate alma mater in August 2021. The academic program concentration was Family Nurse Practitioner, so Peyton transitioned from acute care to primary care when she came to work for PentaHealth in December 2021. She worked as a full-time RN while participating in La Salle University’s MSN program. Peyton completed the MSN program in December 2024.

Peyton is board certified through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. She enjoys listening to patients, teaching them about their health, and cultivating lasting patient relationships. She values the ability to care for the whole family when all are patients of the Family Practice. Peyton has a special interest in working with adolescents and young adults.

When she is not seeing patients, one of Peyton’s favorite things to do is walk the dog with her husband and have a morning coffee in hand. She also enjoys reading, cooking, and traveling, but most importantly she cherishes spending time with her family.

Dr. Hubert Wu joined PentaHealth Family Practice West Chester on May 1^st, 2025. He is accepting new patients.

Dr. Hubert Wu obtained his medical degree at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He went on to complete his residency at Penn State Health – St. Joseph’s in Family and Community Medicine, where he was elected as Chief Resident during his 3^rd year. Dr. Wu has worked as an Attending Hospitalist on medical/surgical/ICU floors as well as an outpatient primary care provider in a hybrid role, valuing the traditional approach to Family Medicine in both the inpatient and outpatient setting.  

Dr. Wu’s interests span the entire spectrum of primary care. He strives to promote patient’s health with a collaborative and accountable approach. He prides himself on finding ways to individualize his care with each one of his patients.  

He enjoys spending time with family, which includes his three children (and all the chaos that entails) and wife.  

Join us in sending a big congratulations to Dr. Jean Stretton on her retirement! She has dedicated over 40 years to the health and wellbeing of patients in and around the West Chester community. Dr. Stretton was one of the independent primary care physicians who joined together to form Gateway Medical Associates in 1996! Since then, she has largely contributed to building PentaHealth into the organization we are today.

Dr. Stretton has always been a strong advocate for patient centered care, effective communication among health professionals, and coordinated transitions of care. Her compassionate and sincere presence will be missed by patients and our staff. We wish her a well-deserved and relaxing retirement!
