The Central Penn Business Group on Health is recognized as a resource and advocate for quality healthcare in Lancaster County, working to help local businesses adapt to the challenges of employer-sponsored healthcare.

The Central Penn Business Group on Health promotes a collaborative dialogue among all the healthcare stakeholders -- purchasers, insurers, medical providers, and brokers. We monitor legislative issues and advocate for reform on such issues as tort reform and malpractice reform. And locally, the Central Penn Business Group examines quality healthcare delivery issues.
