Flags

Visitors to our Medical Sciences Building are immediately impressed by our flags! Hanging in the sunlit space of the lobby, the flags represent almost every country in the world. People entering the building each day stop and take time to “find their flag.” Geisinger College of Health Sciences takes pride in representing the cultures and heritages of everyone in our community. In partnership with our facilities operations, the Center for Community Engagement and College Culture curates and maintains this initiative to honor the vibrant tapestry of our college and local communities.
