For decades Millcreek Health System reinforced a powerful and purposed health care mission. LECOM had been solidly at the epicenter of that mission, championing the vision of healthful living and advancing the educational and medical core of a growing and ever-expanding network of medical exceptionalism. The Millcreek Health System had been the seminal delivery system for health care in the western Pennsylvania region and LECOM had been its educational stalwart.

The College had taken to heart the concept that the community is our campus. To promote fitness and wellness for the betterment of our community, LECOM opened the John M. and Silvia Ferretti Medical Fitness and Wellness Center. To answer the need for better oral health care, the College opened the LECOM Dental Offices. With Erie County’s senior population now approaching one-out-of-four residents, LECOM added another component to its health care programs for older adults with the acquisition of three residential communities, the adoption of LifeWorks Erie and construction of the Senior Living Center.

LECOM Health has coordintated with the full complement of our academic health system – with hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, health plans, governments and employers – to improve the countless lives that we touch.
