What Lancaster General Health does

Lancaster General Health (now operating as Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health) is a nonprofit health system headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, founded in 1893. It operates four hospitals totaling 805 beds: Lancaster General Hospital (525 beds, the county's only Level 1 Trauma Center), Women & Babies Hospital (95 beds, with the region's only Level IIIB NICU), Lancaster Rehabilitation Hospital (59 beds, joint venture with Lifepoint Health), and Lancaster Behavioral Health Hospital (126 beds, joint venture with Universal Health Services). The system serves patients across Central Pennsylvania through a network of outpatient centers in Lancaster, Lebanon, and Chester counties, family medicine practices, urgent care locations, and community programs including Street Medicine for underserved populations.

The system's core technology centers on comprehensive healthcare delivery integrated with Penn Medicine's research and clinical trial network. Advanced clinical capabilities include proton therapy for cancer care, Level 1 trauma surgical services, Level IIIB neonatal intensive care, and the myLGHealth patient portal for scheduling, records access, and provider communication. As of April 2026, LG Health acquired full ownership of MRI Group LLP and Lancaster PET Partnership LLP, consolidating subspecialized diagnostic imaging under its umbrella. The system holds Magnet designation (reaccredited five times) and CMS 5-star recognition for quality and safety.

LG Health generates revenue through fee-for-service healthcare delivery across inpatient hospital services, outpatient primary and specialty care, urgent care, diagnostic imaging, lab testing, physical therapy, and behavioral health. The system also operates two joint ventures with Lifepoint Health and Universal Health Services for rehabilitation and behavioral health respectively. As a nonprofit entity, LG Health operates for community benefit rather than shareholder returns and is part of the University of Pennsylvania-affiliated Penn Medicine network.
