At LVHN, you can make a difference. For nearly 100 years LVHN has operated independent residency programs in the Lehigh Valley area with a goal to provide the next generation with skills to be leaders, clinicians, and academicians. We offer an Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program and recently established a new Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellowship.

Whether you strive to educate other clinicians or focus your career elsewhere, there’s endless opportunity with LVHN.

The new Family Birth and Newborn Center opened in 2019 in a new location on the LVH–Schuylkill campus at LVH Schuylkill–E. Norwegian Street. The center spans more than 15,000 square feet and offers five labor-delivery-recovery suites, two obstetric triage rooms, nine family-friendly post-partum rooms, an operating suite and both a regular and isolation nursery.

The Pottsville practice consists of general ob/gyn physicians, advanced practice clinicians, certified nurse midwives, and ob/gyn hospitalists to provide comprehensive women’s healthcare in the Schuylkill County region. The LVH-Schuylkill campus is one of five maternal-newborn hospital sites for the LVHN, creating a robust interdisciplinary regional team using evidence-based practice and providing a care network for maternal services. Maternal-fetal medicine consultation is available, and their service accepts transports to our tertiary care facility in Allentown, PA.
