Compassionately Caring for Our Community, One Child of God at a Time
LSS directly touched the lives of 16,597 individuals through its senior living, community health and community outreach services. Although numbers are important, the true value of LSS is lost in just a single number.
It’s the stories of lives changed, lives enriched, lives that inspire others which really tell the story.
You will be touched by the heartfelt stories of Joshua Hess, a deaf student at Dallastown High School; Jacque Meeker, a former Village at Sprenkle Drive resident; and Melanie Furlong, a Lutheran Home Care & Hospice employee. Please click here to view the LSS Mission Video in closed captioning.
