Lehigh Valley Health Network
Lehigh Valley Health Network
Lehigh Valley Health Network, commonly known as LVHN, is a major healthcare network serving communities across eastern and northeastern Pennsylvania. Its roots extend through decades of hospital and community healthcare development in the Lehigh Valley, with Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest in Allentown becoming its flagship medical campus. Before its combination with Jefferson, LVHN had developed into a large integrated network encompassing hospitals, physician practices, ambulatory facilities, urgent care centers, rehabilitation, home care, pharmacy, imaging, laboratory services, children’s healthcare, and advanced specialty medicine.
A major corporate change occurred on August 1, 2024, when Jefferson Health Corporation became the sole corporate member of Lehigh Valley Health Network. The combination connected LVHN with the broader Jefferson enterprise, creating a much larger healthcare, academic, research, and insurance organization across eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. The integration continued in 2025, and on June 30, 2025, LVHN legally merged into Jefferson Health Corporation. The Lehigh Valley Health Network name continues to be used prominently for regional patient care and healthcare services, but it is now part of Jefferson Health rather than an independent health system.
Today, the broader Jefferson organization includes more than 30 hospitals and hundreds of care locations, while the legacy LVHN network continues serving patients throughout the Lehigh Valley and neighboring Pennsylvania communities. Jefferson reported approximately 65,000 employees after the LVHN combination and continues integrating clinical, administrative, educational, and research operations. Patients still receive local care through LVHN-branded hospitals and practices, while gaining access to the broader Jefferson network when specialized services are needed.

The Cedar Crest campus remains LVHN’s principal and flagship Lehigh Valley location. It houses Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest and numerous major clinical, administrative, educational, and specialty-care operations.
LVHN no longer operates as an independent parent corporation following its legal merger into Jefferson Health Corporation in June 2025. For regional LVHN operations, the Cedar Crest campus in Allentown remains the primary organizational center.
For individual departments, physician practices, billing matters, medical records, or specific facilities, patients should use the mailing address listed by that department rather than assuming all correspondence should be sent to the Cedar Crest hospital.
Jefferson Health Corporate Enterprise
Because LVHN is now part of Jefferson Health, certain enterprise-level corporate, legal, administrative, media, and governance matters may be handled through Jefferson rather than directly through the former independent LVHN organization.
Older records may identify LVHN as an independent health system headquartered in Allentown. That description is now incomplete because LVHN joined Jefferson in August 2024 and legally merged into Jefferson Health Corporation on June 30, 2025.

LVHN employment opportunities are increasingly integrated into Jefferson’s broader recruiting structure.
LVHN provides family medicine, internal medicine, pediatric primary care, preventive health services, chronic-disease management, annual wellness visits, vaccinations, and referrals to specialists. Primary-care practices operate throughout the Lehigh Valley and surrounding Pennsylvania communities.
LVHN hospitals provide emergency services for serious illnesses, injuries, trauma, stroke, cardiac emergencies, and other urgent medical conditions. The flagship Cedar Crest campus includes adult and pediatric emergency capabilities and serves as a major tertiary-care center.
ExpressCARE centers provide walk-in treatment for common illnesses and injuries that require prompt attention but are not necessarily emergencies. Services can include treatment for infections, minor injuries, respiratory symptoms, sprains, and other routine urgent-care conditions.
LVHN provides oncology services through its cancer centers, including medical oncology, radiation oncology, infusion treatment, surgery, diagnostic testing, and cancer-support programs. The John and Dorothy Morgan Cancer Center is located at the Cedar Crest campus.
Cardiology and cardiovascular services include cardiac testing, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, vascular medicine, cardiac surgery, and heart-disease management. LVHN’s cardiovascular programs operate through hospital and outpatient specialty locations.
LVHN provides orthopedic care for joint disorders, sports injuries, fractures, spine conditions, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal problems. Services range from non-surgical evaluation and rehabilitation to complex orthopedic surgery.
Neurology and neurosurgical services address stroke, epilepsy, brain disorders, spinal conditions, movement disorders, and other complex neurological problems. The network has historically operated advanced neurosurgical and certified stroke-care programs.

Laboratory testing is available through hospital and outpatient facilities, including HNL Lab Medicine locations. Patients can receive routine blood tests, diagnostic testing, and specialized laboratory services.
Lehigh Valley Pharmacy Services provides prescription and medication-related services at the Cedar Crest campus and selected additional locations. The Cedar Crest pharmacy currently operates seven days per week with varying weekday and weekend hours.
Patients can access qualifying healthcare services through video visits and telehealth. Virtual care may support routine follow-up, urgent concerns, selected specialty appointments, and access to clinicians without an in-person visit.
MyLVHN provides patients with secure online access to appointments, test results, medical information, messaging, billing information, and other healthcare tools.
LVHN maintains substantial graduate medical education, residency, fellowship, and clinical training activities. Administrative fellowship programs are now being integrated with Jefferson Health, while Lehigh Valley-based training opportunities continue.

The best general starting point is the Patient Engagement Center at 888-402-5846. Representatives can help patients find a doctor, schedule tests or appointments, obtain information about services, and identify the appropriate hospital or department. Have the patient’s name, date of birth, physician or department name, appointment details, and insurance information ready when relevant.
For a concern involving a specific hospital stay, doctor, billing matter, test, surgery, or clinic visit, it is usually better to contact the facility or clinical department directly instead of relying only on the general line. The individual location’s phone number can be found through LVHN’s location pages. Patients using MyLVHN who have technical access problems should call 1-844-469-5846, which is available 24 hours.
Because LVHN is now part of Jefferson Health, some administrative, media, employment, and enterprise-level matters may be handled through Jefferson. Patients should still use LVHN’s local support system for everyday healthcare needs unless they are specifically directed to a Jefferson enterprise department.
Patients may file complaints concerning medical care, staff behavior, communication, billing, hospital conditions, privacy, scheduling, accessibility, discharge issues, or other aspects of an LVHN experience. Before escalating, gather the patient’s name, facility, date of service, department, provider name, account or visit information, bills, correspondence, photographs where relevant, and notes from earlier conversations.
Begin by calling 888-402-5846 and explain the nature of the complaint. Provide the hospital or practice name, date of service, and enough information to identify the patient encounter. Ask the representative to document the issue and route it to the appropriate patient-experience or operational team.
For clinical complaints, contact the hospital unit, physician office, emergency department, imaging center, pharmacy, or other service directly. If the issue concerns an active hospital stay, ask for the nurse manager or department leader so the matter can be reviewed while care is still being provided.
If frontline staff cannot resolve the problem, ask for a manager, clinical supervisor, practice administrator, or patient-experience representative. Provide a short chronology of what happened, what was already discussed, and the resolution you are requesting.
LVHN’s official Contact page provides written feedback forms for patients who want someone to contact them about a doctor, clinician, hospital, or general LVHN experience. Written feedback is useful because it creates a record and can include dates, locations, and a clear explanation of the concern.
For an unresolved system-level concern, written correspondence can be directed to Lehigh Valley Health Network, 1200 South Cedar Crest Boulevard, Allentown, PA 18103-6202. Because LVHN is now part of Jefferson Health, serious enterprise-level issues may also be routed through Jefferson when appropriate.
Privacy complaints, billing disputes, medical-record problems, insurance disputes, and professional-care concerns may each require a specialized department. Ask Customer Service to identify the correct team rather than submitting medical or confidential information through a general website-feedback form.
Hospital-care or patient-safety complaints may be reported to the appropriate Pennsylvania healthcare regulator, while professional-conduct issues can be submitted to the relevant medical, nursing, or professional licensing board. Privacy complaints involving protected health information may fall under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights.
Billing or insurance disputes may also involve the patient’s insurer, Medicare, Medicaid, employer health plan, Pennsylvania insurance regulators, or consumer-protection agencies depending on the problem. Keep itemized bills, explanations of benefits, insurer responses, and LVHN case numbers before escalating.
If a serious dispute involving injury, financial loss, privacy, contractual rights, or another legal matter cannot be resolved through ordinary complaint channels, the patient may consider obtaining independent legal advice. Legal deadlines can apply, particularly to medical negligence and privacy claims, so formal legal questions should be evaluated promptly.
