LVHN Opens Health Center at Macungie

The first part of Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN)’s newest medical campus – the Health Center at Macungie - opened for business Tuesday (Dec. 12).

The three-story medical office building features HNL Lab Medicine, Children’s ExpressCARE, Lehigh Valley Physician Group (LVPG) practices in family medicine, pediatrics, orthopedics and cardiology, as well as outpatient adult rehabilitation and cardiac and vascular diagnostic testing. The HNL site will feature a pediatric-certified phlebotomist and kid-friendly draw rooms.

The Macungie campus is located at the former Weis Markets site at 3369 Route 100.

Lehigh Valley Hospital (LVH)–Macungie, under construction on the same campus, is slated to open in 2024.

It is the first of several neighborhood hospitals LVHN is seeking to build in the region. LVH–Macungie will feature a full-service ER, an inpatient medical unit and ambulatory diagnostic services.

LVH–Macungie fills a need by creating a medical campus and health care services not currently available in the region.

LVH–Macungie will be a licensed and accredited acute care hospital, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Other in-house hospital services will include lab, imaging and pharmacy. Imaging services, including X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan and MRI, also will be offered on an outpatient basis.

A second LVHN neighborhood hospital and health center is under construction in Gilbertsville, Montgomery County. LVH–Gilbertsville and the Health Center at Gilbertsville are projected to open later in 2024.
