Tonia L. Skakalski, D.O., originally from New Castle, Pennsylvania is an obstetrician and gynecologist on staff at Sharon Regional Medical Center and part of Steward Medical Group. A graduate of Laurel High School in New Castle and Grove City College, Dr. Skakalski attended the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri and completed her ACGME Transitional year/ AOA Rotating Internship  at St. Francis Medical Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Dr. Skakalski was an OB/GYN Resident at Synergy Medical Education Alliance Saginaw, Michigan as well as a Clinical Faculty member at Michigan State University.  
Throughout her career, Dr. Skakalski has traveled extensively providing medical treatment in Pakistan and Romania. While completing her residency in Pittsburgh she was a board member of A Hand to Hold — a non-profit organization formed in response to the frequency of infant homicides.  A Hand to Hold was a hospital-based program that offered a confidential alternative to mothers who wished to abandon their babies unharmed.  The organization was endorsed by then-Pittsburgh Mayor Tom Murphy and then-Allegheny County’s District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala, Jr. and was supported by the City of Pittsburgh.

Dr. Skakalski has published a number of articles and presented several lectures on topics ranging from management of fibroids during pregnancy, post-operative analgesia, pre-eclampsia, HELLP syndrome
(hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count) and other hypertensive diseases of pregnancy to CNS complications of pre-eclampsia.
“We are pleased to welcome Tony and Dr. Skakalski to the ranks of our board of trustees,” noted Joseph Hugar, president of Sharon Regional Medical Center. “Their expertise in the financial arena and the medical field will bring another degree of expertise to an already impressive group.”  Hugar continued, “I am grateful to our board members who continue to serve and support Sharon Regional – many have experience on other boards or public committees and also have extensive professional, business or medical achievements and leadership skills. Their objectivity, commitment of time and dedication to the community all play an important role in the success of our organization.”
