Master Facilities Plan

Growing Our Footprint

Between 2018 and 2021, Penn Highlands Healthcare is implementing a $180 million Master Facilities Plan designed to enhance access to critical services and advanced care for the residents of Northwestern/Central Pennsylvania.

The Master Facilities Plan triggers eight major expansion and renovation projects to modernize, improve and expand upon the services we offer patients at four of our hospital campuses and numerous outpatient facilities in the 34-county region we serve.

Check back here regularly as we communicate updates on the status of each project.
