Dr. Stanley Lang, a board-certified family physician with more than four decades of clinical experience, is reopening Mercy Family Health in DuBois, PA, offering residents a patient-focused alternative to conventional healthcare. The practice operates on a direct-pay model that eliminates insurance company involvement, enabling practitioners to concentrate on individualized treatment plans rooted in lifestyle-based strategies rather than administrative compliance. Dr. Lang began his medical career in 1978 and has since developed models of wholistic healthcare that address chronic conditions through natural treatments and restorative approaches within a family medicine setting.

The reopening addresses a recognized need for additional medical providers in DuBois and surrounding rural areas, where access to family care remains a documented challenge. While existing options such as Penn Highlands Healthcare serve the region, Mercy Family Health introduces a structural and philosophical alternative designed to prioritize personalized attention over volume-driven care models.
The practice centers on a wholistic health philosophy that treats the body, mind, and spirit as interconnected elements of well-being. Rather than managing symptoms alone, the clinic emphasizes restorative care aimed at reversing chronic disease through lifestyle adjustments, nutritional guidance, and natural interventions. This approach reflects Dr. Lang's longstanding commitment to developing healthcare models that empower patients to take active roles in their long-term health management.
The direct-pay membership system reduces administrative overhead and external influence from insurance companies and pharmaceutical giants on clinical decisions. Practitioners can design treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique circumstances. By removing insurance intermediaries, the practice allocates more time and resources to patient education, preventive strategies, and ongoing support, positioning the model as a deliberate structural choice that prioritizes outcomes over procedural requirements.
Dr. Lang brings more than 47 years of board-certified experience treating patients across all age groups, from infants to the elderly, though he no longer provides obstetrical services after nearly two decades in that field. He is joined by Sheri Lang, a Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner with advanced nursing experience, including international healthcare work. Together, the clinical team offers expertise in managing acute and chronic conditions across the lifespan.
Mercy Family Health provides a full range of family medicine services, supplemented by telemedicine appointments that expand accessibility for patients facing scheduling or transportation barriers. Remote consultations allow members to receive care without compromising quality, making healthcare more convenient for individuals with demanding schedules or mobility limitations.
The practice also offers StemWave Therapy, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive pain management treatment that uses low-intensity, unfocused shockwaves to promote natural healing and cellular regeneration. According to therapy descriptions, the technology stimulates the body's repair processes, reduces inflammation, and supports tissue recovery, with cumulative effects that often lead to more significant relief over successive sessions. This aligns with the clinic's wholistic philosophy by encouraging the body's innate healing mechanisms rather than masking discomfort. Now that the pain management model is established, the next phase of treatment will focus on urinary incontinence in women.
The membership model covers office visits and general family medicine services, while StemWave Therapy is available as a separate service not included in the monthly fee. This structure provides transparency and flexibility, allowing patients to access core care and elect specialized treatments based on individual needs.
Mercy Family Health's mission centers on helping patients address chronic conditions and improve overall well-being through personalized, wholistic care that encourages active participation in health management. The practice serves the DuBois community and surrounding areas with a model designed to restore patient-provider relationships and prioritize long-term wellness.
