Jona N. Gnananehru, MD

I believe in providing patient-centered care that addresses not only the physical health of individuals but also their emotional, social and psychological well-being. I view health as a dynamic balance. My role is to support patients and their families across all stages of life – from birth through aging – by fostering continuity, trust and collaboration. I aim to build long-term relationships with patients and create a welcoming environment where every person feels heard, respected and cared for.

I am a family medicine physician at St Luke's University Health Network. I completed my residency right here at St. Luke's Sacred Heart in Allentown. I have dedicated my practice to treating each patient as a whole person and believe in the importance of patient education and preventive medicine. I also have a keen interest in women's health and obesity medicine.

Outside work, I am a "dog and cat mom" with a green thumb and a love for all things cozy and creative. When I'm not tending to my garden or curled up on the couch with my pets and a good book, you'll find me soaking in live music, exploring the diverse food scene and discovering the rich cultural experiences throughout the Lehigh Valley. I am a firm believer in the joy of simple pleasures – fresh blooms, good tunes and a plate full of something new.
