History

Postcard of the George F. Geisinger Memorial Hospital

Geisinger was named after iron magnate George Geisinger by his widow, Abigail Geisinger. The George F. Geisinger Memorial Hospital was founded in Danville in 1915 and later became Geisinger Medical Center. [6]

Geisinger Health Plan, a subsidiary health management organization (HMO), was started in 1985.[ citation needed ]

From 2001 through mid 2015, Glenn Steele served as Geisinger's president and chief executive officer (CEO). [7] Steele left Geisinger in 2015, with David Feinberg joining as president and CEO. [8] In December 2018, Jaewon Ryu became president and CEO. Ryu formerly served as the health system's executive vice president and chief medical officer since 2016. [9]

On April 26, 2023, Kaiser Permanente announced it would acquire Geisinger. As part of the deal, Geisinger would operate as an independent subsidiary, folded into a new non-profit group called Risant Health; [10] [11] the transaction was completed on March 31, 2024. Terry Gilliland became president and CEO of Geisinger, while Jaewon Ryu became CEO of Risant Health. [12]

About

Geisinger Health System serves over half a million patients across multiple states in the Northeastern United States. [13] Geisinger's primary geographical area of coverage is central and northeastern Pennsylvania. [14] The organization offers internal health insurance plans to the public within its coverage area. [15] Geisinger also conducts medical research and operates both Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine [16] and the Geisinger-Lewistown School of Nursing. [17] The organization also has a charitable arm, the Geisinger Foundation. [18]

Programs and practices

In 2015, Geisinger launched a patient satisfaction program called ProvenExperience, which offers refunds of co-pays or deductibles to patients unhappy with their medical treatment or other aspects of care. [13] In 2017, it started the Fresh Food Farmacy, a program that provides free healthy foods and nutrition advice to low-income patients with diabetes. [19] [20] In 2018, Geisinger introduced a program that drives patients unable to arrange their own transportation to medical appointments or pharmacies. [21]

Geisinger incorporates electronic health records (EHRs) and genomics into its healthcare practices. Geisinger first adopted EHRs in 1996. [22] By 2002, it was using Tel-a-Nurse, a service that allowed patients to call and receive medical advice from nurses informed by EHRS. [23] In 2007, Geisinger opened a genetic biobank and screening program called MyCode, which sequences the genetic code of volunteer patients to screen them for risk markers of diseases. [24] As of 2018, MyCode had obtained genetic information from over 200,000 patient volunteers. [24] This bank of genetic material has also been used for medical research purposes. [25]

Research

In 1967, Geisinger was awarded a federal grant to study the effectiveness of medications to prevent heart attacks or their recurrence. [26] In 1974, the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation awarded a grant to Geisinger to study the potential treatment of Raynaud syndrome with drugs normally used to treat high blood pressure at that time. [27]

Geisinger has a database of electronic health records (EHR), and set up a genetics research program called MyCode in 2007. [25] The use of EHR allows longitudinal study of patient outcomes through a study called "DiscovEHR". [28] [29] [30] The program uses gene sequencing by the biotechnology company Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. [31] The National Institutes of Health awarded a grant of US$ 5.5 million to the research program in 2016. [31] The program was expanded to include whole exome sequencing in 2018. [24] Using the patient volunteers' genetic data stored in its MyCode program, Geisinger has conducted or collaborated on genetic research studies aimed at identifying potential links between genetic variants and risk factors for certain diseases. [25] Geisinger contributed data from 35,000 of its patients to a 2016 Johns Hopkins University study that demonstrated linkages between asthma and fracking. [32] In 2021, a Regeneron-led study partially based on genetic data from the MyCode biobank identified a genetic variant that appears to lower obesity risk. [33] [34] [35]

Education

On January 1, 2017, Geisinger acquired the Commonwealth School of Medicine in Scranton, Pennsylvania. [16] Opened in 2008, the school had struggled financially prior to its acquisition. Geisinger agreed to assume the school's nearly $40 million debt as part of the acquisition. [36] Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine received a $3.4 million grant from the federal government in 2017 to promote diversity and provide opportunities for disadvantaged communities. [37] In order to "fix the primary care shortage facing the organization", Geisinger announced a program in 2019 to cover full tuition plus a $2,000 monthly stipend for 40 students committing to work at Geisinger for at least four years after completing a residency. [38]

In December 2012, it was announced that Geisinger Health System and Lewistown Hospital had signed a letter of intent for a merger. [43] Independent physicians had opposed a merger with Geisinger, stating that with the presence of a Geisinger clinic in Lewistown and with Geisinger offering health insurance, a monopoly might result from the merger, ultimately hurting instead of helping local healthcare. [44] [45] [46] The full merger and integration of Lewistown Hospital into Geisinger Health System received final approval from the Pennsylvania Attorney General and the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The new Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital became effective on November 1, 2013. [47]

GLH has offered a school of nursing since 2005. [48] It became a level IV trauma center in 2021. [39]
