About Northern Dauphin Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

+
Northern Dauphin Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, located at 990 Medical Road in Millersburg, Pennsylvania, provides skilled nursing and rehabilitation services in a deeply rooted, riverside community in northern Dauphin County. Under the leadership of Ephram Lahasky, the center is guided by a commitment to dignified, compassionate care that honors each resident's individuality and supports families throughout the care journey. Millersburg is a small borough with a rich identity, sitting on the western bank of the Susquehanna River where the river widens and the surrounding ridges of Peters Mountain create a dramatic and tranquil backdrop. The town is perhaps best known as the home of the Millersburg Ferry — one of the last remaining river ferries in Pennsylvania, a flat-bottomed paddlewheel boat that has transported passengers across the Susquehanna to Liverpool since the 19th century. This beloved local institution speaks to the character of Millersburg: unhurried, community-minded, and proud of its heritage. For medical needs, residents at Northern Dauphin benefit from reasonable access to major regional health systems. Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, a Level I trauma center and one of Pennsylvania's foremost academic medical facilities, is located approximately 40 miles to the south in Hershey. UPMC Pinnacle Harrisburg and PinnacleHealth facilities in the Harrisburg area are also reachable via US-322 and Route 147. For urgent needs, Geisinger's regional network — including Geisinger Lewistown Hospital to the northwest — provides additional options. Millersburg's surrounding landscape offers residents and families a genuinely restorative environment. The Susquehanna River provides birdwatching, fishing, and scenic beauty throughout the year. Peters Mountain Wildlife Management Area offers trails and wildlife habitat just across the ridge. The nearby communities of Halifax, Elizabethville, and Lykens provide additional dining, shopping, and community services for families. The area's agricultural valleys, wooded ridges, and river vistas define a quality of life that is quietly extraordinary — a pace and setting that many seniors find deeply comforting. At Northern Dauphin Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, a dedicated clinical team delivers 24-hour skilled nursing care, rehabilitation therapy, and personalized support within this exceptional natural and community setting.
