Lehigh Valley Hospital–Macungie

This is a licensed acute care hospital, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
housed in a state-of-the-art 22,000-square-foot facility with a full-service emergency room. The hospital
is staffed with board-certified/board-eligible physicians and emergency trained nurses.

This hospital has a full-service ER, but a limited number of inpatient beds. Hospitals of this size and
composition are traditionally known in the health care industry as community or neighborhood hospitals.

Yes. The inpatient beds are for those requiring overnight hospital stays, for additional care, observation and testing. Someone arriving at LVH–Macungie with more acute medical problems, or requiring surgery, would be stabilized and transported to a larger LVHN hospital with increased care capability.

Shorter emergency department wait times, faster inpatient admission and reduced length of stay are
three key advantages.

In-house hospital services will include lab and imaging. Imaging services, including X-ray,
ultrasound, CT scan and MRI, also will be offered on an outpatient basis.

This building, the Health Center at Macungie, will house HNL Lab Medicine, Lehigh Valley Physician Group (LVPG) family medicine, orthopedics, cardiology and pediatrics. In addition, the building will house outpatient adult rehabilitation and cardiac and vascular diagnostic testing.
