ACMH Hospital to Affiliate with Pennsylvania Mountains Care Network

The facilities involved will retain their original identities.

By HFT Staff


Pennsylvania Mountains Care Network (PMCN) announced that a definitive agreement has been signed with Armstrong County Memorial Hospital (ACMH). Both boards have now voted in favor of the move to expand the network. PMCN now includes Indiana Regional Medical Center (IRMC), Punxsutawney Area Hospital (PAH) and, following regulatory and third-party approvals, ACMH. 

This affiliation will help to preserve, enhance, and provide quality healthcare for patients in the multicounty service area for all three hospitals. It will also create synergies, cost-efficiencies, and sustainability for the organizations. After closing, individuals from all three communities will sit on the boards of PMCN – while an IRMC, PAH and ACMH combined executive management team will represent the common interests of these rural communities for the long-term.

The hospitals will retain their local identities and operate as three separate nonprofit corporations, with three separately licensed community hospitals. While there will be some sharing of human resources for the benefit of respective patient communities, each hospital will retain its existing medical and nursing staffs, employees, volunteers and community connections.
