Lancaster healthcare
Lancaster has a strong mapped care footprint, with facility and personal questions still distinct
The local display labels healthcare access, hospital access, primary care, and emergency care Excellent. The inventory maps 6 hospitals within 12 kilometers, 1,167 reported beds with one facility missing or sentinel bed data, 11 Medicare emergency hospitals within 30 miles, and 4 HRSA adult primary care likely sites within 15 miles.
