We’ve been part of the region for more than 100 years — celebrating with you at parades, fairs and sports events and supporting activities that lift up our communities. Here’s the latest on how we’re connecting with you and your neighbors.
Supporting first responders
To encourage community safety and emergency preparedness, Geisinger Jersey Shore Hospital donated automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to several local EMS and law enforcement partners including the Lycoming Community Police, Jersey Shore Area EMS and Lock Haven Police Department.
Walking for a cause
Dozens of Geisinger employees showed real heart as they braved gloomy weather to participate in this year’s Northeast PA Heart Walk at PNC Field in Moosic. This annual event organized by The American Heart Association raises funds for care, research and awareness of heart disease.
Celebrating a new chapter in life support
A July ribbon-cutting marked Geisinger’s acquisition of Central Juniata Emergency Medical Services (CJEMS). The ceremony honored the many people who helped establish and grow CJEMS over the years and the 10 CJEMS EMTs joining Geisinger EMS – West Region.
Summer safety
Over 400 community members splashed into free swimming events in Danville and Sunbury. These safe summer activities weren’t just for fun — they also promoted physical activity. Geisinger departments, including sports medicine and dermatology, were on hand to educate people and hand out giveaways.
