This Dix Hills’ Resident Was Named Among America’s Top Physician Assistants for 2025

DIX HILLS, NY — Dix Hills resident Diraine Glanville has been named one of America’s Top Physician Assistants for 2025 by POCN, the largest network of nurse practitioners and physician assistants in the U.S.

Glanville, who holds a master’s degree in science and additional certifications in wound care, serves as physician assistant manager of clinical practice with MJHS Medical Associates, PC, part of the not-for-profit MJHS Health System based in New York. In her role, she coordinates physician services and provides compassionate, patient-centered care to elderly and chronically ill individuals across Long Island.

Colleagues say Glanville’s steady leadership and medical expertise have had a profound impact on patients and staff alike. She’s known for guiding her team through organizational changes with empathy and professionalism — and for stepping in to provide direct care during staffing shortages to ensure continuity for patients.

“Diraine is an exceptional PA who leads by example and lifts everyone around her,” MJHS representatives said. “Her professionalism, dedication and compassion truly set her apart.”

She also mentors new clinicians, promotes professional growth within her team, and remains committed to continuous learning and education. Her recognition by POCN highlights her ongoing contributions to improving care and strengthening healthcare delivery across Long Island.
