In-house Resources and Support

The LCMS staff has resources on file to assist member physicians and medical staff with questions about medical practice management, legal issues, current health care issues and related concerns. Call our office. If we don't know the answer, we will do our best to help you make contact with the people who do.

LCMS Membership Directory

The medical society's annual membership directory is distributed to medical offices and health care organizations throughout Lancaster county. Over 4200 directories are distributed each year and utilized to help our medical community stay connected.

Membership Meetings

LCMS conducts membership meetings as needed to inform our members of issues of critical importance to the practice of medicine. These meetings provide our members with opportunities to meet with colleagues, share information and work together to improve health care in our community.

Physician Referrals

LCMS acts as a resource for patients seeking primary care and specialty physicians. Our staff utilizes the LCMS membership database to help patients narrow the search for a physician.

Patients can also access the LCMS On-line Directory to obtain information about member physicians by name, practice name or specialty.
