About

Our MISSION inspires us. Our HERITAGE guides us.

SpiriTrust Lutheran® delivers an array of programs and services that touch thousands of lives each day. Our service footprint has grown well beyond our humble beginnings when Sister Charlotte Weissgerber, a prominent social worker from Philadelphia, came to York in 1951 as the first executive director of Lutheran Welfare Services.

We have always played an important role in providing compassionate care and support to those we serve in our communities to ensure their well-being and help them achieve an optimal quality of life. As needs grew and shifted, we opened new programs, expanded our territory and partnered with others to offer a variety of care options in multiple settings.

Our name, SpiriTrust Lutheran, captures the essence of who we are and the care and compassion our amazing team delivers. It embraces our Lutheran heritage, our spirit of service, and the reality that people come to us because of their trust in us.

Today, we provide residential living, assisted living, personal care, memory support and nursing and rehabilitation services in six life plan communities located in south central Pennsylvania along with home care, in-home support, hospice services and palliative care in Central Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley.

Annually, we serve nearly 6,400 people in nine counties in Pennsylvania. We look forward to the future as we continually strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve each day.
