 A Dec. 16 memo from John J. Herman, CEO of Lancaster General, stated: “In light of today’s challenging economic times, we must make choices that preserve our resources for things that strengthen the care we provide to our patients and our mission. As a result, we have decided to forgo previously announced plans for this year’s employee holiday gift.”

Employees had been slated to receive $25 gift cards.

Mr. Herman said rescinding the gift cards was a necessary short-term action to focus financial resources on patient care.
