Our commitment to the community and your education is based on our historic osteopathic education and teaching program.
LANCASTER OSTEOPATHIC FOUNDATION
Our former facility, Community Hospital of Lancaster, was the dominant
provider for Osteopathic Medicine in Lancaster since its founding in
1927. In 1999 the Hospital was purchased by Health Management
Associates. With the purchase of the hospital the Lancaster Osteopathic
Foundation was formed. The Foundation provides grants and is active
with our educational programs.
