Quality of Life
Located in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, WellSpan Evangelical shares its picturesque, riverside home with Bucknell University-providing access to the arts, entertainment and sporting events while maintaining a small-town setting.
The local school district ranks among the best in the state in academics, athletics and the arts. Despite its tranquil, rural setting, Lewisburg is just three hours from New York City and Philadelphia and four hours from Pittsburgh.
The region is home to the majestic Susquehanna River. We are also surrounded by state parks, scenic country roads, abundant fishing streams and year-round recreational opportunities. The region also offers a number of land and water trails. Photo Courtesy Susquehanna River Valley Visitors Bureau/VisitCentralPA.org
