After due diligence, research and discussion, the boards of directors of Penn Highlands Healthcare and Highlands Hospital signed a definitive agreement in December 2021 that paved the way for the regulatory review and approval and ultimately, the integration. 

The affiliation with Highlands Hospital will enable Penn Highlands Healthcare to continue the expansion of its footprint in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
