LVHN currently has 10 chiropractic locations, according to its website

An additional three chiropractors who are aligned with LVHN but are independent practices will not be affected. Around 12 other staff working in the network’s chiropractic services will “likely” be moved to other open positions, according to an LVHN statement shared with Becker’s.

“In any large organization there will be occasional restructuring for various reasons. This is one of those situations and from time to time restructuring happens based on community need and demand as well as other factors,” the statement said. 

Lehigh Valley Health Network features 13 hospital campuses, along with multiple physician practices, health centers, rehabilitation locations, urgent care sites, and more.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
