“Our goal is to make our pediatric expertise more easily available to more patients and families in the communities we serve in central Pennsylvania,” Thomas Samson, MD, surgeon-in-chief at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital, said in a March 20 news release. “This is part of our long-term strategy to bring our high-level services closer to where patients live.”
The pediatric surgical care team providing services in Lancaster includes surgeons, anesthesiologists and pre- and post-op nurses. The team will also see patients for follow-up care at the health system’s pediatric center in Lancaster.
