LVHN neighborhood hospital in Macungie holds ribbon cutting ceremony

MACUNGIE, Pa. - On Friday, Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at LVHN’s first neighborhood hospital, Lehigh Valley Hospital - Macungie.

The new hospital is expected to serve patients soon, according to officials. It's just pending state Department of Health inspections.

The hospital is part of the new Macungie medical campus where the Health Center at Macungie opened in December 2023 and will be complete with an around-the-clock emergency room.

The hospital also provides lab and imaging services, X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI services on an outpatient basis.

This is the first of several neighborhood hospitals LVHN is planning to build in the region and will fill a need not currently available in the Macungie area, according to officials.

Another LVHN neighborhood hospital and health center is under construction in Gilbertsville, Montgomery County, and is projected to open later this year.
