Enola-based PAM Health announced plans Thursday to build a freestanding 42-bed physical medicine and rehabilitation hospital in Mechanicsburg, its first inpatient rehabilitation hospital in the state.

WellSpan’s incoming addition to WellSpan York Hospital, an eight-story tower created to expand the hospital’s inpatient services, is not the only major project the system is working on. In fact, the midstate is currently brimming with new projects in the works from all of the area’s major players.

WellSpan’s newly announced expansion to its York hospital will include more than 500 new employees and is expected to alleviate a capacity issue at the facility.

Ephrata-based Retreat Behavioral Health will open a mental health and substance abuse treatment center in Connecticut next week.
