Good Samaritan Hospital (Lebanon)

Lebanon, Pennsylvania, United States of America

The Good Samaritan Hospital operates as a not-for-profit community hospital governed by a board of trustees composed of business and community leaders. Now into its second century of service, The Good Samaritan Hospital's commitment to the community is the same as the day it was chartered: "To provide care of the sick and suffering and further, that no distinction shall ever be made in the reception or treatment on account of creed, race or nationality."

The Hyman S. Caplan Pavilion of The Good Samaritan Hospital at Fourth and Willow streets, originally the Lebanon Sanatorium and formerly known as the Lebanon Valley General Hospital, was founded in 1904 by Dr. Andrew Gloninger as a for-profit hospital. Dr. John L. Groh and his family operated the facility from 1917 until 1979 when it was acquired by a Florida for-profit hospital chain.
