Geisinger Medical Center Muncy in Pennsylvania officially opened earlier this month. The full-service hospital is part of a clinical joint venture between Geisinger and Highmark Health that expands access to care for those who need it most in Clinton, Lycoming, Sullivan and Tioga counties.
The medical center includes many amenities, such as the clinical decision unit. Patients who require observation or further testing or those who need to be admitted are moved to the adjacent inpatient unit where they are treated accordingly.
The hospital’s 20 inpatient rooms are outfitted with smart TVs displaying a digital whiteboard with real-time health information to enhance patient communication and better coordinate care. These smart TVs offer patients and families television, hospital information and relaxation content all in one system.
For routine care, the facility includes a multi-specialty clinic with adult and pediatric primary care, orthopedics, cardiology, ophthalmology and women’s health services. Also available are specialty outreach services, imaging, lab and medical oncology services, in addition to chemotherapy preparation and general surgery.
