Harrisburg’s Dr. Kathryn Frantz Opens Doors to New MDVIP-Affiliated Practice

HARRISBURG, Pa. – June 1, 2026 — With more than 30 years of service caring for patients in the greater Harrisburg area, board-certified internist Kathryn Frantz, MD, has opened an MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice located at 1 Lemoyne Square, Suite 100A, in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania.
 
Unlike traditional primary care practices that typically manage 2,000 or more patients, MDVIP-affiliated physicians choose to maintain a smaller panel size. This enables Dr. Frantz to spend more time with each patient and provide proactive, prevention-focused care as well as other conveniences, including:

  • A comprehensive Annual Wellness Program with advanced diagnostic tests and screenings to help identify health risk and shape a personalized wellness plan
  • Same-day or next-day appointments
  • Longer office visits that start on time
  • Physician availability after hours for urgent concerns
  • Travel benefit for continuous healthcare support from the doctor while out of town

“My approach to care has always centered on prevention, education and building the kind of trusted doctor-patient relationships that empower people to take an active role in their own health,” said Dr. Frantz. “Joining the MDVIP network allows me to strengthen my connections with patients and devote the necessary time that isn’t available in a traditional, high-volume practice. I’m excited to offer this model of care to the Harrisburg community.” 
 
Through its emphasis on disease prevention and early detection, the MDVIP model has been shown to improve health outcomes, including:

  • 70-80% reduction in hospitalizations
  • Fewer visits to the emergency room and urgent care
  • 40% more at-risk patients identified for heart attack or stroke
