Penn Medicine Lancaster CEO Jan Bergen to retire in January
Ioannis Pashakis//August 12, 2020
Jan Bergen, president and CEO of Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health, announced today that she will retire from the Lancaster-based health system in January.
Bergen has been part of LG Health since she joined the system in 2000 as Senior Vice President of Ambulatory Care and the Women & Babies Hospital. She has acted as the system’s president and CEO since Sept. 2015.
“Thanks to her exceptional leadership, LG Health is recognized nationally for excellence in patient care and its relentless commitment to improving the health and well-being of all in our community,” said D. Michael Wege, chairman of the Lancaster General Health Board of Trustees. “For this and so much more, Jan has our profound gratitude.”
Under Bergen’s leadership, LG Health has expanded Lancaster General Hospital and opened its 126-bed Lancaster Behavioral Health System.
The system currently oversees three hospitals, more than 60 physician practices, dozens of ambulatory facilities and more than 624 physicians and advance-practice professionals.
Prior to being named president and CEO, Bergen led all operations within LG Health and oversaw the opening of the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute in 2013.
“It is not easy to put into words how much Jan has done for LG Health and the health of South Central Pennsylvania,” said Kevin Mahoney, CEO of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. “She has led with expertise, energy, passion and displayed a true service-oriented commitment and connection to her community. Her strategic vision and tireless advocacy for patient care have been the driving forces behind LG Health’s growth.”
The Lancaster General Health Board of Trustees, Penn Medicine leadership and an advisory committee of local business and community representatives will be leading a national search for a successor.
