The facility also has a cancer institute and is known for its award-winning heart and stroke care. 
  • The cost of living in Chambersburg is 22% less than the nation's average. Although the cost of health care is slightly above average, housing and utilities are typically low. 
  • Chambersburg's climate is humid continental, meaning it has humid summers and cold winters. Snowfall is expected during the colder months, but it typically doesn't accumulate. The pleasant summers make up for the winters for many seniors. July is the hottest month, with an average high temperature of 85.3 degrees. 
  • Violent crime in Chambersburg is uncommon, with an index rating of 18 compared to the national average of 22.7. Property crime, on the other hand, tends to be higher than the nation's norm.
