According to a joint press release from Lancaster Health Center and Welsh Mountain Health Centers, both organizations will be merging. According to the release, the boards of the two organizations “unanimously approved” the merger on Oct. 29 after “months of due diligence and discussion.” LHC and WMHC currently provide primary care, dental care, behavioral health, and social services throughout Lancaster and Lebanon counties. Combined, they report serving over 35,000 patients across their locations. Both organizations are Federally Qualified Health Centers, and thus receive funds from the Health Resource & Services Administration. Therefore the merger requires state government approval, which will take a few months.
