Serving the community for more than 40 years, the physicians and staff are proud to open a new state-of-the-art endoscopy center located at 2112 Harrisburg Pike, 1st Floor, Suite 100, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open-house reception. The new center replaces two centers located within the Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health Suburban Out-Patient Pavilion with one convenient location, offering the same high quality of patient care in a new updated environment. The group also has an Ephrata location at 4140 Oregon Pike.
A wide variety of procedures will be performed at the new center and include upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, esophageal dilation, polyp removal and hemorrhoid treatment. Screening for colon cancer via colonoscopy remains a focus.
“Colon cancer is a common and deadly disease, but it is preventable and treatable when detected early. We must continue to spread the word that colonoscopy saves lives,” said Dr. Ameet N. Parikh, Medical Director of MidAtlantic Endoscopy Center and partner at Regional GI. “It’s important that we continue to serve our community by making screening colonoscopy available to everyone.”
To schedule your colonoscopy or to learn more about when you should be screened, the group encourages you to contact your primary care physician or call Regional Gi directly at 717-869-4600.
The ribbon cutting will commence at 5:30 p.m. followed by an open house where guests will tour the new state-of-the-art facility, meet the physicians and enjoy refreshments. Those interested in attending the event are asked to RSVP by emailing Connie Ream at cream@regionalgi.com.
