Penn State Health plans to open a new pediatric outpatient center in Manheim Township, Lancaster County next spring.
The Hershey-based health system announced on Tuesday that it will soon begin construction on its new 47,000-square-foot Penn State Health Lancaster Pediatric Center.
The center is an expansion of the system’s Penn State Children’s Hospital and will offer area residents high-level pediatric care in a center designed and dedicated to children, Penn State Health said in its announcement.
“Penn State Health is committed to bringing our primary and specialty care to where it’s convenient for our patients and their families,” said Steve Massini, CEO of Penn State Health. “Having a dedicated outpatient center for pediatrics in Lancaster will help reduce stress and travel time for those families that need this specialty care.”
Construction on the project is expected to begin this spring with the buildout of 30,000 square feet of medical space that will house pediatric medical and surgical specialties and outpatient services.
The center will be located at the intersection of Harrisburg Pike and Route 30 in Manheim Township, the site of a former Toys “R” Us location.
High Construction Company will oversee the construction of the project.
