UPMC Susquehanna to Purchase Lock Haven Hospital

Conglomerate to also Purchase Sunbury Hospital

WILLIAMSPORT – UPMC Susquehanna officially announced on Wednesday, June 7 that it has signed an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire 47-bed Lock Haven Hospital in Lock Haven, PA and 70-bed Sunbury Community Hospital in Sunbury, PA.

“We are excited to extend our tradition of high-quality, compassionate care to the Lock Haven and Sunbury communities,” says Steven P. Johnson, president of UPMC Susquehanna. “Bringing these hospitals into our family allows us to reinvest in both facilities to improve access, enhance care, and grow existing services.”

Steven Davis, CEO of Lock Haven Hospital, says becoming part of UPMC Susquehanna will benefit the operations and financial stability of Lock Haven Hospital. “We are pleased to join the UPMC Susquehanna family,” says Davis. “UPMC Susquehanna is well-known for providing patients with high-quality doctors, nurses and medical staff close to home. Joining this innovative team is a great win for our community.”

Over the coming months, transition teams will work to develop plans to align operational systems in anticipation of the transaction closing by the fall. Both organizations expect no immediate operational service changes at the hospitals.

Sunbury Community Hospital CEO Bob Williams notes, “The employees of Sunbury Community Hospital are greatly looking forward to our new relationship with UPMC Susquehanna. This strong alliance allows us the ability to continue providing compassionate, patient-centered care built on the foundation of their excellent reputation for cutting-edge medicine with compassion and affordability.”
