Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) is an integrated academic health system serving Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Founded in 1899, it has grown from a single hospital into a multi-hospital network employing more than 21,000 people and treating millions of patients annually. In 2024, LVHN combined with Jefferson Health to form one of the nation's leading integrated academic health care delivery systems, expanding its reach across both states.
The network operates hospitals and care sites spanning primary, acute, and critical care. Four of its hospitals - Cedar Crest, Muhlenberg, Hazleton, and Pocono - have earned consecutive 'A' Hospital Safety Grades from The Leapfrog Group. LVHN has been recognized among U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospitals for 23 consecutive years, and the network includes multiple Magnet-recognized hospitals, a designation awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center for nursing excellence.
Roles across the network span clinical, administrative, technical, and support functions. The organization's scale - hospitals, outpatient facilities, and care sites spread across a wide geographic footprint - means staff work in environments that range from community primary care to academic medicine and critical care.
