Unique, primary-care focused programs

We immerse our students in these unique, primarycare-focused programs:

Research centered around primary care

In 2019, 82% of our first-year Abigail Geisinger Scholars took part in clinical research, studying everything from vaccine hesitancy in a federally qualified health center to barriers to care resulting in “no shows” for disadvantaged urban populations.

Fresh Food Farmacy®

This program offers nutritious groceries for eligible patients referred by their physician to help better control their diabetes in light of food insecurity. The program also supplies food for the patients’ families. Eligible patients and their families can enjoy better health, which is a priority for Geisinger.

MyCode Community Health Initiative

This precision-medicine project analyzes the DNA of registered patient-participants, improving healthcare by finding ways to diagnose medical conditions earlier — even before symptoms appear — and developing new ways to manage these diseases.

Geisinger 65 Forward

These primary care clinics are tailored to meet the unique needs of those age 65+. People get longer appointments, social activities, wellness classes and VIP-level, personalized care. Everything the patient needs is under one roof in a calm, relaxing environment. That’s what makes these sites more like a spa than a clinic.

Geisinger at Home™

Teams of doctors, nurses, dietitians, social workers and other medical professionals help keep patients with difficult-tomanage cases healthier and better connected to care by delivering it right to their doorstep.

LIFE Geisinger

LIFE Geisinger is a program for adults 55 and older designed to give patients the support they need to live at home independently while using comprehensive daily living and health services. An experienced team coordinates care based on individual needs, offering caregivers relief and support.
