Eliance Health Solutions’ health plans include a variety of benefits to help employers stabilize medical costs and help employees improve their health and well-being. Our members have access to care driven by clinical improvements through the Eliance Preferred Network. This clinically integrated network includes all Penn Medicine facilities and providers along with select private practice providers and specialists throughout the community. It also gives members access to the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute.
The Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute is a state-of-the art facility designed with the patient experience in mind. It provides screenings, services and treatments to cancer patients in a calming and comforting environment centered around well-being. The Cancer Institute is home to Central Pennsylvania’s only Proton Therapy Center and is also the first community hospital to offer CAR T-cell therapy, which was developed at Penn Medicine. The institute’s oncology program is accredited by the American College of Surgeons (ACOS), and the providers collaborate with their colleagues at Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center to support patients with a variety of care options.

This approach allows patients to manage potential issues from the comfort of their home while also helping them to avoid visits to the hospital and reduce treatment-related expenses.
