Penn State Health opens two new outpatient locations in Harrisburg
Penn State Health opened two new outpatient locations in Harrisburg, which the Hershey-based health system says will enhance access to its primary and specialty care services in the midstate.
This week, Penn State Health announced the opening of Penn State Health Medical Group – Blue Ridge and Penn State Health Diagnostic Center – Union Deposit, both in Dauphin County.
Blue Ridge, located near the intersection of Linglestown and Crums Mill Roads, features primary care, internal medicine, women’s health and pulmonary services within a 7,500-square-foot practice.
It includes 12 exam rooms and clinical support space for a team of four primary care providers and about a dozen support staff.
The Diagnostic Center, located on Union Deposit Road, offers diagnostic imaging services focused on breast care. A team of mammography technologists, sonographers, radiologists and support staff will work in the 11,000-square-foot building.
Both facilities were built as part of a joint investment of $1 billion into the region’s health care between Highmark Health and Penn State Health and fall in line with Penn State Health’s goal of “ensuring that everyone in the communities it serves is within 10 minutes of a Penn State Health primary care provider, 20 minutes of its specialty care services and 30 minutes of a Penn State Health acute-care hospital.”
“Together with Highmark Health, we made a commitment to bring our services closer to where our patients live and work so they have more choice and easier access to the care they need,” said Jeanette Gibbs, senior vice president for ambulatory services at Penn State Health. “Today’s new practice site openings show our continued commitment to provide high quality, safe and convenient care in the community.”
