How Advanced Technology Helps You

New technology improves how we care for you and your family. That's why Lehigh Valley Health Network invests millions of dollars each year in the most advanced computer technology.

We call ourselves a "digital hospital," meaning our computerized systems protect patient safety, save lives and ensure we treat and diagnose you and all our patients as quickly and accurately as possible. We're one of just a handful of hospitals across the country that is wired (and wireless) to provide you with the very best care.

The Latest Technology

Just a few of the cutting-edge technologies you will find in our digital hospital include x-rays on computer, world's strongest MRI, digital mammography, linear accelerator, paperless charts, an all-digital catheterization lab, Arctic Sun: a “cool” treatment for heart and stroke care, and much more.

A Secure Wireless Network

It's the backbone of our digital hospital. Our advanced, flexible wireless network means that anywhere, anytime in the hospital, a doctor or nurse can look at their wireless devices and get real-time updates on patient conditions. Our caregivers are always connected to the information they need most.

We've also made sure your information is secure. We use leading-edge computer and network security systems so only your caregivers can view your confidential health information.
