A Message From Dr. Swinfard

“Providing health care is becoming an increasingly high-pressure experience. The challenges include greater scrutiny of clinical and research compliance, increased attention to clinical outcomes to insure quality, enhanced sophistication of electronic information systems, and an increasingly litigious society. The strength of Lehigh Valley Health Network is the spirit of collaboration among all providers to meet these challenges and keep us one of the premier health care providers in the United States. None of us knows all the answers and all of us can benefit from sharing with others. This spirit distinguishes us from others and keeps us professionally stimulated and personally enriched.”
