PATIENT SPOTLIGHT Basketball Coach Lorie Khalil
For Lorie Khalil, sports are not just activities — they define who she is. “I’ve played sports my entire life,” Lorie says. She has participated in field hockey, basketball, and track, among others. For the past 15 years, Lorie coached college basketball, a sport she played through college. “When I graduated, I started coaching basketball immediately.” Today, Lorie is the head coach of the women’s basketball team at Penn State. Lorie is a local to our area, but before she started coaching at Penn State, and even before she came to Lehigh Valley, she was the head coach for the women’s basketball team at Arcadia University in Glenside, Pennsylvania. While there, she brought the Arcadia University women’s basketball program into the MAC’s Commonwealth Conference, which is one of the country’s most competitive conferences for women’s basketball. From 2011–2014, Lorie worked to improve the school ’s program by leading the team to its best record in nearly eight years. After leaving Arcadia University, Lorie joined the Penn State Lehigh Valley women’s basketball program and brought the team immediate improvement. With the same enthusiasm she has shown in bringing her teams to victory, she is equally passionate about the
community. Each of her teams have been involved in a variety of community events, such as “Day for David” and services for the Ronald McDonald House, Hackettstown Halloween Parade, and the Centenary Women’s Center Breast Cancer Run. When Lorie came to Lehigh Valley, she not only wanted to continue her passion in coaching, but she also wanted to find a dentist she could trust. After doing some research, she found Lehigh Valley Smile Designs and decided to schedule an appointment. “When I actually met them, everyone was freaking awesome,” she says. “Kim and Jen at the front desk are amazing, and everyone is super friendly. They’re always asking how I am and are really pleasant people to talk to.” “When I first came in, I had a lot of cavities, and I needed a lot of dental work. I met Dr. Petrillo, some of his associates, and Sharon, one of the hygienists. They all came up with a dental plan for me to get my teeth back into shape and executed that plan, but I never felt lost. Everyone walked me through the process step by step.” Lorie has been with us ever since and is proud to say, “I haven’t had another cavity.”
