Your contribution to Good Samaritan Hospital helps us make advancements and maintain high standards in several core areas of community healthcare.
Clinical excellence and patient-focused care. We maintain clinical excellence by requiring enhanced sepsis monitoring protocols to save lives.
Community benefit. Clinical leadership collaborates with local EMT providers to educate paramedics on how to recognize symptoms and begin treatment before arriving at the hospital.
Education and innovation. Our remote patient monitoring program helps patients engage in their own health.
Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation fund designations
Here is how you can have an impact
- Building Access, Restoring Hope: Help improve access to behavioral healthcare in the Lancaster community.
- Where needed most: Help us respond to emerging needs. Giving to this fund enables us to address the areas of greatest need for WellSpan Health.
- Cancer Patient Comfort Fund: Help provide services, equipment and amenities that are not covered by insurance but go a long way toward making patients feel more comfortable during treatment.
- Cancer Patient Help Fund: Lend a hand to patients facing the financial burdens that often result from dealing with the impact of cancer. This fund helps with basic living expenses, such as rent, utilities, groceries and transportation to and from medical appointments. Funds are available to patients who meet specific financial aid guidelines.
- WellSpan Good Samaritan Patient Support Fund: Help patients who have needs that affect their treatment or health outcomes. This fund assists at-risk patients with food, transportation, transitional housing and life-saving medications.

Scholarships aid young people with a connection to a local WellSpan community and require them to return to work within the WellSpan footprint following their graduation.
