Lancaster Medical Legacies and Lineages

While Lancaster might not have physicians as well known as Philadelphia’s Benjamin Rush, it does have several familial lineages that span decades of its medical history. Families, such as the Atlees and Wentz have many generations of physicians and healthcare professionals.
