Five years after the affiliation between York, Pa.-based WellSpan Health and Summit Health, WellSpan Chambersburg Hospital has become the most comprehensive local healthcare provider and largest employer in Pennsylvania’s Franklin County. A testament to its care quality, the hospital was named as one of America’s Best Hospitals by Healthgrades and named among the top 1% nationally based on patient mortality and complication rates. WellSpan was also recognized as the first health system in Pennsylvania, and one of only three systems in the country, to be awarded the Health Equity Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance, thanks to its culturally and linguistically sensitive services and work in reducing health care disparities. The health system has also been recognized among the best employers in Pennsylvania by Forbes for five consecutive years.
