Following up on a promise to the community when it took over a local hospital earlier this year, Geisinger Health System Foundation Board of Directors today approved $125.7 million for Geisinger-Community Medical Center, part of a nearly $160 commitment to the hospital.
When Geisinger took over CMC hospital in February, it promised to make upgrades of during a seven-year period to the dated facility.
With today’s announcement, Geisinger commits to an $80 million facility expansion of GCMC, $25.7 million to construct a new physician office building in Scranton and a $20 million project already under way to upgrade the hospital’s information technology system.
Anthony Aquilina, D.O., chief medical officer at GCMC, said the goal is to boost quality of health care in the local community.
