Paula Wolf//August 16, 2022
Penn State Health named Dr. Mark Jarowenko vice president of medical affairs at Penn State Health Lancaster Medical Center, where he will lead development and recruitment of medical staff for the new hospital, which opens Oct. 3.
In this role, which he starts Sept. 1, Jarowenko will also oversee the 132-bed hospital’s relationships with private practice physicians.
The board-certified urologist was most recently a partner at Keystone Urology Specialists, formerly Lancaster Urology, where he specialized in laparoscopic and urologic robotic surgery. Jarowenko began his career at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, as an assistant and then associate professor of surgery in Penn State College of Medicine’s Department of Urology from 1985 to 2000.
In addition, his experience includes serving as a consultant with the Lebanon VA Medical Center from 1985 to 1996 and the Elizabethtown Nursing and Rehabilitation Center from 1985 to 1991.
“Dr. Jarowenko’s extensive clinical experience and tremendous leadership skills will help ensure that our new hospital delivers superior medical care to the residents of Lancaster County,” Joseph Frank, Penn State Health East Region hospital president, said in a release. “He’s been a practicing urologist in Lancaster County for more than two decades and is committed to building a team of talented and compassionate providers.”
