Penn State Health approves plans for Lancaster County hospital
Penn State Health approves plans for Lancaster County hospital
Penn State Health expects to begin construction on its 129-bed, five-story acute care hospital in Lancaster County in the coming weeks.
The Hershey-based health system announced late last June that it would be building its fourth acute care hospital in East Hempfield Township.
The system said on Monday that its plans for the build were approved by its Board of Directors and the project is set to soon break ground.
Located on 30 acres near the intersection of State Road and Harrisburg Pike, the new hospital will feature all private inpatient beds, an emergency department, various specialty inpatient services, an imaging lab, complete medical and surgical capabilities and an attached building for outpatient services.
The 341,000-square-foot facility was designed by New York-based HKS Inc. and will be built through a joint venture by Southfield, Michigan-based Barton Malow Co. and Harrisburg-based Alexander Building Construction Co.
The project is planned to be finished by mid-2022.
