As the reach of Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) expands throughout its northwest region, the range of services grows, bringing much-needed surgical care to local communities in Carbon, Luzerne and Schuylkill counties and the surrounding areas.
“The goal is to provide the best possible surgical care in the communities so residents don’t have to leave for their treatment,” says Michael Pasquale, MD, Chair, Department of Surgery, Physician in Chief for Lehigh Valley Institute for Surgical Excellence. “We offer more types of surgical procedures than any of our competitors, and we do more surgeries than anyone else. I’m a firm believer that the more you do, the better you are.”
