Interested in starting a referral relationship with Penn State Health? Our physician liaisons can help.

Our partnerships with referring providers are essential to our mission to improve the health of our patients in the central Pennsylvania region.

Physician liaisons bridge the gap between referring physicians and the hospital and serve as a single point of contact for referring physicians to communicate with. Our physician liaisons are available to assist referring physicians with questions or concerns, facilitate effective communication with the hospital, and help you quickly resolve any issues.

We assist with:

  • Patient referrals
  • Information on new programs
  • Connecting with Penn State Health faculty
  • Participation in clinical trials
