Health Institutes at LVHN
Five institutes. Five more reasons why we’re the leading health network in the region.
Each of our health institutes – Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute, Lehigh Valley Heart and Vascular Institute, Lehigh Valley Fleming Neuroscience Institute, Lehigh Valley Institute for Surgical Excellence and Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute – serves as a hub of innovation, research and education that is dedicated to providing you with the latest and most effective technologies and treatments.
Our five health institutes. Where what’s next happens.
At our health institutes, we’re always evolving. Here, you’ll find advanced medical techniques and technologies, the latest clinical trials through alliances (with innovators like Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center) and a dedicated team – your team – focused on getting you better.
Through the leadership of each institute, your care teams pursue continuing medical education, participate in and lead medical research, and design ways to create better patient experiences and outcomes.
How does an institute model benefit you?
The best and brightest clinicians meet regularly to share their expertise with one another and work together to care for you as one team.
Your clinicians offer the most advanced technology and techniques for treating your condition, and they are dedicated to staying up to date on the most innovative approaches for care through ongoing formal training and medical education. They also offer free programs and information about prevention, risk factors and screenings to our communities.
Your clinicians participate in and offer many of the latest clinical trials for your specific diagnosis. If you meet the criteria for a clinical trial, you will have the chance to learn more and participate in groundbreaking research opportunities close to home.
While Lehigh Valley Hospital (LVH)–Cedar Crest serves as the hub for the institutes, all LVHN hospitals, campuses and practices serve as their satellite locations, connecting patients with our distinct services, clinicians and expertise.
