A new 10-year initiative by Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health will see the Lancaster-based hospital system invest $50 million into combating lead poisoning in Lancaster County.

Lancaster General Hospital has closed its Duke Street emergency department entrance as it begins a multi-year, $182.5 million expansion to the department.

Area hospitals are looking at which of their employees can work remotely and how many employees their departments need to still operate.

Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health will invest $48 million in a new radiation therapy facility in Lancaster; the second of its kind in the state.

Every year, the prize is presented to a health care organization that has shown exemplary commitment to establishing and facilitating programs that improve the overall health and well-being of its community.
