Dr. Anthony Fowler Announces His Retirement

Dear Patients,
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement at the end of this year. Caring for and spending time with you, my patients, has been the most rewarding part of my 28-year career as an audiologist and the owner of the Keystone Hearing Institute.

I have come to know many of my patients and their families as friends and I am honored that so many have asked me to care for their spouse, children, extended family, and friends. It has been a fantastic career! Through much consideration and discussion, I have concluded that this is the right time for this decision.

Effective January 1, 2027, Darrell M. Sipe, Opticians and Hearing Aids will acquire the Keystone Hearing Institute. The hearing professionals at Sipe’s share my commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care and will have full access to your hearing healthcare records. During the final quarter of this year, we will begin to schedule future (2027) routine patient visits with Darrell M. Sipe, Opticians and Hearing Aids at one of their three offices in Hanover, Spring Grove, and Gettysburg. For many, this will enhance customer service by having a hearing healthcare provider closer to their home.

In accordance with federal and state laws, including HIPAA, your medical records will remain confidential and securely stored during the transition to Darrell M. Sipe, Opticians and Hearing Aids. You have the right to obtain a copy of your records or have them transferred to another healthcare provider of your choice. For record retrieval prior to December 18, 2026, please contact our office at (717) 646-9300 to schedule a time to pick up your records or to complete a records release authorization. For record retrieval after January 1, 2027, please contact Darrell M. Sipe, Opticians and Hearing Aids at (717) 632-5558.

My career has been filled with many rewarding experiences and memorable patients. For this, I thank you and wish only the best for your health and happiness.

Anthony W. Fowler
