HERSHEY, Pa. — A new Penn State Health facility gives Lancaster County residents more convenient access to primary and specialty care close to home. Penn State Health Medical Group – Lime Spring Outpatient Center, the health system’s newest, most comprehensive clinic, welcomed its first patients on Wednesday, Jan. 2.

The 76,000-square-foot outpatient facility is located at 2221 Noll Drive in East Hempfield Township. It consolidates five existing Penn State Health Medical Group practices: Penn State Children’s Hospital – Lancaster Outpatient, Lancaster Hematology Oncology, Penn State Health Medical Group – Red Rose Pediatrics, Penn State Health Medical Group – Oyster Point, and Penn State Health Medical Group – General Internal Medicine. It also brings Penn State Health specialists to Lancaster County.

The first floor of the Lime Spring Outpatient Center includes several new specialty services, including orthopedics and sports medicine, dermatology, breast care, ENT, cardiology, urology, optometry, audiology, physical therapy, and cardiac testing, as well as several pediatric specialties. The second floor will offer primary care services, as well as a walk-in lab and after-hours care.

The building’s innovative construction, featuring state-of-the-art technology designed to efficiently manage the flow of patients, is similar to Penn State Health Medical Group – Mechanicsburg.

“Our new Lime Spring Outpatient Center is designed to improve the patient experience through better coordination of care,” said Dr. A. Craig Hillemeier, dean of Penn State College of Medicine, CEO of Penn State Health, and senior vice president of health affairs for Penn State. “It’s also an integral part of Penn State Health’s mission to ensure people in Lancaster County have access to quality health care close to home. Our long-term goal is to ensure that patients throughout central Pennsylvania are within 10 minutes of our primary care providers and 20 minutes of our specialty care providers.”
