Our relationship with Penn Medicine helps to set Lancaster General Health apart from other health systems and what they are able to provide to their patients. This is one of our greatest strengths.
LG Health’s other greatest strength is the care network we have developed during our 129-year legacy of serving the community. Our key strengths include the depth of our medical staff and clinical teams, and the comprehensive nature of our services, as well as the geographic footprint our health system covers.
LG Health is that single stop that combines exceptional quality and ease of service. We’ve all had times when we’ve had to go out of our way to find something we want or need. When we’re looking for a special gift or a critical service, our day becomes so much easier when we can find it close to home.
Our comprehensive network of care offers these advantages to our community. Whether it’s a physician practice, emergency services or advanced care, our patients are able to find the services they need right here in Lancaster, in a coordinated way, at a location that is most convenient for them.
This is why LG Health continues to invest in strengthening our continuum of care, including the new Emergency Department at Lancaster General Hospital, which opened its first phase last September. The new LG Health Lincoln in Ephrata, and LG Health Strasburg, which opened in December, both feature expanded family medicine offices, co-located with laboratory testing, physical therapy and other outpatient services. And the Queen Street Flats, currently under construction, will deliver convenient health care services in Downtown Lancaster.
These are just a few of the comprehensive services LG Health is able to offer to our patients, due to the comprehensive care network developed over our long-standing history in the community and our relationship with Penn Medicine. Enhancing access to these services – and opening new “front doors” to our health system in the process – will remain a key area of strategic focus for us.
LG Health’s comprehensive continuum of care, combined with our ability to deliver advanced medical and surgical services locally, differentiates us from what any other health systems can offer to our community. Over the next several years, we will continue investing in our continuum of care to ensure that we provide health care services at the time and place that work best for our patients.
