Lancaster General Hospital is Lancaster County's oldest operating non-profit, community-owned hospital. We have been a 100 Top Hospital nationally five years in a row from 1997 to 2001. The 521-bed hospital is a regional referral center for multiple specialties, including cardiac, pulmonary, trauma and neurosurgery. We have an Emergency Medicine and Trauma (Level II) and Stroke Center, with more than 60,000 emergency room visits annually. Construction was recently completed on a $15 million dollar state-of-the-art renovation of our emergency department, and we are now undertaking construction of a $68 million dollar Orthopedic Center.
The Women & Babies Hospital is the only hospital in the region focused on the unique needs of women through all phases of life and infants, for which it has a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Our facility is divided into four pavilions. Maternity services are provided in the Reception Pavilion, Delivery Pavilion and Family Pavilion. Women's health services, including mammography and lab testing, are provided in the Women's Pavilion. The hospital also includes a Medical Office Building with offices for virtually every OB-GYN practice affiliated with Lancaster General Hospital, including our own faculy practice.
Located in southern Lancaster County in the town of Quarryville (20-30 minutes from LGH), the Walter L. Aument Family Health Center is a vital part of the community's life and is a model family practice center. It is part of the Lancaster General Hospital and the Lancaster General Health System, and is staffed by residents and faculty. Preceptors here include several community family physicians, including many graduates of our program. During the second and third years of residency, we spend much of our time at "the Q" as it is affectionately known. As a fully functional clinic, the Q has near full time X-ray and general laboratory. We also have a three-bed emergency room, a treadmill stress facility, endoscopy, colposcopy, and casting facilities. Almost all of our hands-on didactic teaching (casting, suturing, sigmoidoscopy, and nasolaryngoscopy) are practiced with both our faculty and community specialists.
At Lancaster General Health Campus, we have a Cancer Center, Neuro Center and Gamma Knife Center. We provide a full-range of ambulatory services center that also includes medical offices and a comprehensive Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation unit offering occupational, speech and physical therapy.
With all these superlative facilities, Lancaster General provides the foundation for an outstanding medical education!
