Payments to Local Municipalities & School Districts

Building a healthy community extends beyond providing health care. We support local governments, school districts and community improvement initiatives in addition to caring for those who are medically underserved.

Payment of Property Taxes Throughout Lancaster County
Most properties owned by LG Health and its affiliates (excluding Lancaster General Hospital at 555 N. Duke St., Lancaster, and Women & Babies Hospital at 690 Good Dr., Lancaster) are fully maintained on the tax rolls — even when such properties are used to further our charitable mission, rendering them legally tax-exempt.

This ensures that LG Health pays more than $5.2+ million in additional tax revenue to several local municipalities and school districts.
