About the Area

The Lehigh Valley region in eastern Pennsylvania is the third largest metropolitan area in the state. It is located an hour from New York, the Pocono Mountains and Philadelphia regions.

Popular attractions include art museums and galleries, sporting events and historical sites. The hospital is minutes away from the quaint historic district of downtown Bethlehem. Lehigh Valley’s metropolitan lifestyle is equally balanced by our outdoor offerings. If the rural countryside is what you’re after, take a short drive to find wineries, outdoor activities, zoos, walking, hiking and biking trails.
