Lancaster General Health is a regional hospital located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It is part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System.[1] Its flagship hospital is Lancaster General Hospital. Founded in 1893 in a small home on Queen Street, the hospital is now an approximately 590-bed facility located at 555 N. Duke Street in Lancaster City. The health system encompasses the main acute-care hospital, Lancaster General Hospital, in addition to a specialty hospital for women, Woman & Babies Hospital, as well as joint venture in-patient facilities Lancaster Rehabilitation Hospital and Lancaster Behavioral Health Hospital.[2]

Lancaster General Health's Lancaster General Hospital gained recognition in December 2020 as a top-tier Level 1 center for trauma care, the first in Lancaster County and one of only 18 in Pennsylvania.[3]
Lancaster General Health offers a wide range of services including cardiology, oncology, neurology, stroke care, acute and trauma care, and pediatric services in partnership with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.[4] Its first motorized ambulance was gifted by Henry Keiper in May 1916.[5] Although there were many upgrades before and after December 1946, it was around that time the hospital had to expand due to the baby boom post-WWII that drastically increased the number of child births.[5] In January 1991, Lancaster General Health created a program called "ChildProtect Immunization Program" providing free immunizations to minimize future disease.[5]
