About Us

Welcome to the Geisinger Health System
Founded in 1915, Geisinger is a physician-led health care system, dedicated to health care, education, research and service spanning 40 counties of 20,000 square miles and serving 2.5 million people.

Geisinger’s vision - summarized as Heal. Teach. Discover. Serve. - is rooted in Abigail Geisinger’s objective to bring quality healthcare to the residents of northeastern and central Pennsylvania. The system is committed to educating the next generation of caregivers - physicians, nurses, technologists, pharmacists - and to providing lifelong learning for our Geisinger family members.

We are fortunate to have a population that remains in the region. This allows us to translate our discoveries through research into actual patient care and to monitor and improve that care. Our collaborations with local hospitals, referring physicians, communities, and our patients mean service to the entire region, with benefits that extend beyond our system - models of care that can be replicated nationwide, particularly in rural areas.

Geisinger’s vision is based on these guiding themes

  • Quality: providing superb care across the organization
  • Value: providing care where and when it is needed
  • Partnerships: working collaboratively with other providers, businesses, and educational institutions
  • Advocacy: championing causes for improving rural health.
