The 12-physician, 12-clinician VSAS Orthopaedics practice has four locations: Allentown, Pa., Bethlehem, Pa., Fleetwood, Pa., and Hamburg, Pa.
VSAS Orthopaedics is joining one of the largest medical groups in the nation. LVPG includes more than 700 physicians and 300 advanced practice clinicians.
The merger will benefit VSAS Orthopaedics patients, giving them access to advanced imaging, rehabilitation facilities and LVHN's range of specialty services, according to VSAS Orthopaedics president Prodromos Ververeli, MD.
The orthopedic practice's name, locations and phone numbers will remain the same.
