At Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health, our mission is to advance the health and well-being of the communities we serve. In addition to providing advanced medicine and high quality health-care services, we are committed to providing support for a wide range of community health needs.

Health care is more than treating an illness or performing a surgery. Together with many dedicated partners, we strive to address poverty, substance abuse, behavioral and mental health, food insecurity, family issues, and housing needs.
