Lehigh Valley Health Network

What Lehigh Valley Health Network does

Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) is a nonprofit integrated healthcare delivery system founded in 1899 and headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, operating 15 hospital campuses plus numerous health centers, physician practices, ExpressCARE walk-in locations, and other outpatient sites across 10 eastern Pennsylvania counties. Following its 2024 combination with Jefferson Health, LVHN is part of a top-15 U.S. not-for-profit health system spanning the Lehigh Valley, Delaware Valley, northeastern Pennsylvania, and southern New Jersey, with 33 combined hospitals, 65,000 colleagues, and more than 700 sites of care. LVHN delivers comprehensive services across 95 clinical specialties, organized around dedicated institutes for cancer, cardiac and vascular, orthopedic, surgical excellence, neuroscience, and pediatric care (Lehigh Valley Reilly Children's Hospital), supported by more than 2,000 employed physicians and 800+ advanced practice clinicians through Lehigh Valley Physician Group (LVPG). The system also operates MedEvac air and ground medical transport, HNL Lab Medicine, Valley Preferred health coverage, and a Network Office of Research and Innovation (NORI).

LVHN's technology footprint centers on the Epic EHR system with a MyLVHN patient portal, an 18-system robotic surgery program (including the da Vinci 5, da Vinci SP, Mazor X Stealth, VELYS, Mako, ROSA, and Ion bronchoscopy) that has completed more than 40,000 procedures since 2008, AI-assisted clinical capabilities through Aidoc (cardiovascular imaging) and Varian Ethos (adaptive radiation therapy), and advanced modalities such as IRIS 3D surgical imaging, focused ultrasound for tremor, and SpaceOAR hydrogel for prostate cancer. Revenue is generated principally from patient care services billed to commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay across multiple billing entities (hospital, LVPG, HNL Lab, MedEvac), supplemented by clinical research revenues (including Children's Oncology Group and TAPUR trial participation), MedEvac transport fees, and Valley Preferred health plan and accountable care organization population health contracts.
