Lebanon healthcare
A local acute-care hospital and VA campus give the city a strong care starting point
WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital is in Lebanon and its emergency department is open 24 hours. WellSpan describes a 163 bed acute-care facility and a broader local network covering heart and vascular care, oncology, orthopedics, neurology, imaging, geriatrics, digestive health, women's health, behavioral health, rehabilitation, and other services. Confirm which services are local, which require referral, and which depend on your coverage.
Lebanon VA Medical Center provides primary and specialty care, emergency care, imaging, pharmacy, rehabilitation, hospice, behavioral health, and other services for eligible Veterans. The VA also describes beneficiary travel support and DAV van options for qualifying patients. This is a meaningful resource for Veterans, but it does not replace a non-VA coverage plan for every household member.
The catalog maps three major hospitals nearby, 16 pharmacies, strong hospital and emergency access, and more limited specialist access. Those fields do not answer appointment availability, network participation, clinical fit, transfer arrangements, or where a complex procedure would take place. Map the full care day before moving.

Map the complete Lebanon care route
Call primary care
Confirm new-patient access, coverage, records, prescriptions, chronic-care follow-up, behavioral health, and after-hours instructions.
Visit the local hospital
Drive to Good Samaritan, check parking and entrance routes, and ask which services, specialists, imaging, rehabilitation, and follow-up are available locally.
Review VA services if eligible
Ask about enrollment, primary and specialty care, pharmacy, emergency care, transportation, caregiver support, and referral requirements.
