Lancaster Medical Center has been named a 2024 Top General Hospital by The Leapfrog Group - just one of three hospitals in Pennsylvania to earn the distinction and the only "Top Hospital" in Lancaster County.

We are devoted to providing an exceptional care experience tailored to each patient’s individual needs, all right here, in the Lancaster community.
