Pocono Health System

What Pocono Health System does

Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), referenced in the input under the firmographic name Pocono Health System, is a regional multi-specialty health system operating as a subsidiary of Jefferson Health following a 2025 combination. The organization operates multiple hospital campuses across eastern Pennsylvania — including Lehigh Valley Hospital campuses at Cedar Crest, Muhlenberg, and 17th Street — alongside a children's hospital (Lehigh Valley Reilly Children's Hospital) and five specialty institutes covering cancer (Topper Cancer Institute), heart and vascular care, orthopedics, surgical excellence, and neuroscience (Fleming Neuroscience Institute). Supporting infrastructure includes more than 70 lab testing and imaging locations, ExpressCARE and JeffExpress walk-in urgent care sites, and a regional residency and fellowship program described as among the best in the nation.

The digital layer is centered on the MyLVHN patient portal, which provides appointment scheduling, provider messaging, bill payment, and medical record access. Complementary digital services include Video Visits for telehealth consultations, an online Symptom Checker tool, and a Second Opinions service. In July 2026, Thomas Jefferson University announced plans to establish a regional medical college campus in the Lehigh Valley, extending the system's academic and physician-training footprint.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare delivery funded through insurance reimbursement and patient payments across inpatient, outpatient, urgent care, telehealth, and diagnostic settings. Customer segments are predominantly individual patients across all age groups and medical needs, supplemented by referring physicians and healthcare providers who channel patients into the specialty institutes. The go-to-market approach is direct-to-consumer via multiple physical access points plus digital self-service, supported by content marketing, social media, community events, and a formal physician referral program. Geographic reach is regional — the Lehigh Valley and surrounding Pennsylvania communities — now integrated into a larger Jefferson Health system with multi-state presence.
