Lebanon, PA - The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Lebanon VA Medical Center (Lebanon VAMC) announced that it was named the top VA Medical Center in the United States, once again, for patient experience.
The local Veteran’s facility and its five associated community clinics were notified last week of their achievement.

The Veteran Trust score is a record high level.
Lebanon VAMC CEO and Executive Director, Jeffrey A. Beiler, II said, “Whenever I’m asked, what is different about Lebanon, I always say the staff working at our medical center and community clinics truly believe that it is a privilege to serve the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much and served our country so nobly, therefore they always go above and beyond to provide exceptional care with exceptional service.”
