Susquehanna Health

The Williamsport Hospital & Medical Center project is part of the larger Project 2012, Susquehanna Health's master facility project designed to upgrade and or replace four aging facilities.

The highlights of this project are:

• Continued use of existing campuses.
• Creation of modern facilities capable of housing state-of-the-art medical technology while significantly improving operational efficiency.
• Expansion of space for critical patient care areas such as the Emergency Department, operating rooms, Imaging Services, and special care units.
• Elimination of multiple-bed rooms to improve patient safety and infection control.
• Flexible design characteristics assuring effective building use for future decades.
• Emphasis on our faith-based, relationship oriented philosophy of care to reflect our local natural and cultural heritage.

The majority of the work envisioned under this project will be completed by the year 2012.
