Geisinger Health System (GHS) is a regional health care provider to central, south-central and northeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. Headquartered in Danville, Pennsylvania, Geisinger services over 3 million patients in 45 counties.

History

Geisinger is named after Abigail Geisinger, widow of iron magnate George Geisinger.

Its primary care facility is the Geisinger Medical Center (GMC) located in Danville, with three other hospitals; Geisinger Wyoming Valley (GWV) and Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre - both located in Wilkes-Barre, and Geisinger-Community Medical Center (GCMC) located in Scranton. Geisinger has clinics throughout northeastern and western Pennsylvania, located in Wilkes-Barre, Pittston, Mountaintop, Nanticoke, Wyoming, Scranton, Dallas, Plains, Kingston, and other surrounding cities and towns.{{citationneeded|date=September 2017}}

Geisinger Health Plan, a subsidiary HMO, was started in 1985.{{citationneeded|date=September 2017}}

On December 4, 2012 it was announced that Geisinger Health System and Lewistown Hospital had signed a non-binding letter of intent for a merger. Geisinger's Frank Trembulak said the non-binding letter refers to the specifics of how the merger will work and that there is a "binding agreement to merge".[1]

Independent physicians have opposed a merger with Geisinger, stating that with the presence of a Geisinger clinic in Lewistown and with Geisinger offering health insurance, a monopoly might result from the merger, ultimately hurting instead of helping local healthcare.[2][3][4] The full merger and integration of Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital into Geisinger Health System received final approval from the Pennsylvania Attorney General and the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the new Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital became effective on November 1, 2013.{{cn|date=March 2019}}

From 2001 through mid 2015, Glenn Steele served as Geisinger’s president and chief executive officer.[5] Steele left Geisinger in 2015, with David Feinberg joining as president and CEO.[6] In December 2018, Jaewon Ryu was named interim president and CEO. Prior to the announcement, he previously served as the health system’s executive vice president and chief medical officer since 2016.[7]

Research

Geisinger opened its $21 million Geisinger Center for Health Research on its Danville campus in the spring of 2007. Researchers conduct health services, epidemiologic and population genetics research. The current director of Geisinger's Center for Clinical Studies is Peter B. Berger.

Genetics

Geisinger has a database of electronic health records (EHR), and set up a genetics research program called MyCode in 2007. The use of EHR allows longitudinal study of patient outcomes, in a study called "DiscovEHR".[8][9] The program uses gene sequencing by the biotechnology company Regeneron.[10] Over 200,000 patients submitted genetic samples by 2018.[11] The National Institutes of Health gave a grant of US $5.5 million to the research program in 2016. The program was expanded to whole exome sequencing in 2018.[11]
