Helping our neighbors thrive
Good Neighbor is how Geisinger meets people where they are — in our neighborhoods, workplaces, schools and homes. We offer community-based programs designed to:
- Prevent illness and injury
- Encourage healthier daily habits
- Strengthen social and mental well-being
Our outreach teams are working to bring care beyond the walls of the hospital and make a meaningful difference in every community we serve. Here are just a few of the ways we do this:
Out-of-school programs
Regional Education Academy for Careers in Health – Higher Education Initiative (REACH-HEI) is an out-of-school program that provides academic enrichment opportunities, including mentoring by medical and graduate students, for low-income and/or first-generation-to-college students in northeast and central Pennsylvania.
Injury prevention programs
Under the Good Neighbor initiative, Geisinger offers a wide array of community workshops and events to help neighbors stay safe — on the road, at home and at play. Topics include driver safety, ATV awareness, distracted-driving prevention, gun-lock safety and “Stop the Bleed” training.
Wellness perks for GHP members
We help you live your best life and achieve your health goals with total wellness programs tailored to your needs. Our members get free no-hassle flu shots, care gap screenings, diabetes prevention programs, tobacco-cessation support and more.
Health and wellness programs
From no-cost flu shot events for the whole community to Silver Circle, our free membership program designed specifically for men and women 55+ to help them thrive, we’re making wellness accessible and meaningful.
