Our teams are made up of people who are curious, driven, and committed to doing what is best for patients. We support each other, we challenge each other, and we continue to grow together. EPVMC has well-staffed referral services in Anesthesia, Cardiology, Critical Care, Dentistry, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Pain Management, and Surgery along with a great team of emergency clinicians to offer advanced care to a well‑educated and devoted client base.

We have full in‑house laboratory capabilities, 6 surgical suites, fluoroscopy (C‑arm), 64‑slice GE Lightspeed CT with fluoroscopy package, 1.5T GE MRI, point of care ultrasound, holmium laser, dental suite with cone beam CT and digital dental radiography, and endoscopy.

Allentown sits in the heart of the Lehigh Valley, one of PA's fastest growing regions. It offers a mix of city convenience, small town comfort, and easy access to bigger destinations.
