Addiction Medicine Team Honored

"We try to treat opiate addiction as a chronic disease just like anything else," said Jon Lepley, DO, Director of Addiction Medicine at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health. Lepley and Kayla Weiler, Manager, Behavioral Health, explain how our Addiction Medicine team--a 2023 CEO Award nominee--provides life-saving treatment within all of our primary care locations. The cross functional team of providers and care managers successfully treated more than 868 patients and helped decrease drug overdose deaths in Lancaster County by 30% since 2021.
