We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering generosity of the Mount Joy Legion Riders Chapter 185 and all those who have stood with them over the past 17 years. What began with just 11 riders and a desire to support our Veterans, has grown into a powerful tradition of compassion, community, and commitment.

This year marks the 17th anniversary of the Annual Frosty Balls & Frozen Susie’s Benefit Ride to Benefit Veterans - an event built on fellowship, service, and a deep respect for the men and women who reside here at the Lebanon VA Medical Center. Thanks to this amazing group and the hundreds who join the ride each year, more than $400,000 has been donated over the years—providing clothing, hygiene items, prepaid phone cards, commissary goods, and so much more to our Veterans.

Your dedication shows what can happen when a community comes together with purpose, heart, and a mission to serve. We are humbled by your support, inspired by your spirit, and honored to be the beneficiary of such kindness.

From all of us at the Lebanon VA Medical Center - Thank you for always remembering our Veterans—and for making a real difference in their lives!!

Our incredible ED team always stands ready to expect the unexpected. Recently, our triage nurse sprang into action when a Veteran arrived unresponsive in a vehicle. Thanks to her quick assessment, she initiated CPR and activated the code blue response right on the spot. The response team quickly transferred the Veteran inside, where they continued life-saving efforts and successfully resuscitated him.
By embracing the philosophy of providing the "best care anywhere," our dedicated nurse and her team ensured they took every possible step to give this Veteran the best chance for a positive outcome. We are so proud of their commitment and teamwork!

United States Army Veteran Daniel Behmer, stopped by our office this past week to sing the praises of three staff members - Jordan Balencic, DO, Mary Good, OD, FAAO and Nicole Sweigart, RN. The former Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic said he would not enjoy the life he does now or continuing his hobby of long range shooting without them. "They treat me like gold", he boasted, "I am treated better here than I deserve." Thanks Dan! We believe every Veteran should be treated like gold - the same way Jordan, Mary and Nicole treat you. If you are a Veteran or know a Veteran who is not enrolled in VA healthcare, call our Enrollment and Eligibility Department at 717-228-6000 to learn about enrolling in VA healthcare. YOU EARNED IT.

From homeless to Hollywood? Sounds like the plot of a movie, but for Army Veteran Eric Reeder, this is exactly what happened. Check out Eric's story and how the VA Lebanon Healthcare System helped him achieve his dream.

Imagine getting a chance to be an extra in a movie, when suddenly, the director asks to speak to your agent to cast you in a leading role!
