Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network (LVHHN) has had independent residency programs for more than 90 years. As an accredited member of the Nation's Council of Teaching Hospitals of the Association of American Medical Colleges, LVHHN's professional education programs are among the best in the nation and provide a unique opportunity to learn.

LVHHN is a clinical campus of Penn State University 's College of Medicine at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and our physicians and staff are committed to developing the talents and expertise of the future generations of physicians. Creativity, innovation, self-reflection and service are all attributes which make the practice of medicine better. These attributes are integral parts of LVHHN's culture.

I believe that you will find our culture and institution an exciting and challenging place in which the joy of learning is linked firmly with the compassion of providing excellent clinical care.
