Located in Central Pennsylvania, we are a regionally based care organization, incorporated in 1985 as a joint venture between Altoona Hospital and a group of physician investors. The goal of this organization is to work with area employers to provide quality, cost-effective healthcare benefits for their employees and families.

The Preferred Healthcare System (PHS) works through insurers and third-party administrators to provide a network of hospitals, physicians, and ancillary providers who can deliver a broad scope of healthcare services.
