LANCASTER, PA — The Lancaster Stormers have unveiled a new chapter in their history, announcing their home stadium’s renaming to Penn Medicine Park. This rebranding follows a multi-year partnership with Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health (LG Health), aiming to deliver more than just entertainment—it seeks to become a beacon of health and wellness for the Lancaster community.
“As the home of the Stormers, Penn Medicine Park will continue to serve as more than just a ballpark—it will be a hub for health, wellness, and community engagement,” said Stormers President and General Manager Michael Reynolds. “This collaboration strengthens a shared commitment to community well-being, bringing exciting opportunities to Lancaster and Central Pennsylvania residents both on and off the field.”
The partnership signals the organizations’ shared vision for leveraging sports to inspire healthier lifestyles and strengthen connections within the community. Key highlights of the initiative include renaming the North Prince Street stadium, offering on-site health screenings, hosting wellness programs, and expanding healthier food options at concession stands. Events will focus on tackling the region’s health challenges and empowering residents to improve their quality of life.
Bringing Health to the Ballpark
Through this collaboration, the stadium will play host to a variety of health-focused events and activities throughout the year. Fans will have access to complimentary health screenings during games, educational booths, and wellness programs designed to encourage better health habits.
“By combining the care and focus that each of our organizations have for our community, we know that we can make a much greater impact on peoples’ health and wellness,” explained John Herman, Chief Executive Officer of Penn Medicine LG Health. “With this partnership, we’re happy to leverage the unifying power of sports to strengthen our efforts to make Central Pennsylvania the healthiest place to live.”
Additionally, the ballpark menu is set to include new, healthier food options, part of a shared mission to promote balanced eating choices in a fun and family-friendly environment.
Building on Two Decades of Collaboration
The new partnership is the most recent chapter in a relationship stretching back nearly 20 years. LG Health, a stalwart of the Lancaster community, has long supported Stormers events, including running the first First-Aid Station at the stadium and consistently participating in health-oriented activities at games.
With over 300 active days anticipated at Penn Medicine Park in 2024, the venue will continue to host a diverse lineup of concerts, festivals, trade shows, sports tournaments, charitable events, and more, ensuring it remains a vibrant centerpiece for the Lancaster area.
Looking Forward
This partnership reflects a commitment to making a lasting impact on Lancaster residents. By combining the social draw of baseball with actionable health resources, Penn Medicine Park aims to go beyond being a sporting venue, emerging as a hub for wellness and community connection.
Reynolds expressed excitement about redefining the role of Penn Medicine Park for the Lancaster community. He highlighted that the partnership opens up new opportunities to make a positive impact both on and off the field and shared enthusiasm for the future.
Together, the Lancaster Stormers and Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health signal a bold step toward a healthier, more united community.
