Their first location is in Lebanon County. We wish them the best and welcome them to the township!

I recently had the opportunity to take an in-depth tour of the Penn State Children’s Hospital and it was quite an amazing experience. We all pray our children and families never need the care of the Children’s Hospital, but if they do, we should all take comfort in knowing we have one of the nation’s top children’s hospitals right in our own backyard. This hospital and its remarkable team of doctors, nurses, and medical professionals are dedicated to providing the best possible care for children and their families.
