Geisinger Healthplex State College set to expand Facility expansion allows more specialty services and appointment availability

PORT MATILDA – Construction of a facility expansion is underway at Geisinger  Healthplex State College (formerly Gray’s Woods), a development that will make better  health easier for patients in Centre County and beyond by allowing for growth of  specialty services and increased appointment availability.  

The expanding clinic, at 132 Abigail Lane in Port Matilda, will be two floors and will  include existing specialties and services such as: 

• Orthopaedics
• Pediatric
• Imaging services
• Family practice/Community Medicine

In addition, some of the other services at the healthplex include:  

• Cardiology
• Ophthalmology
• ENT
• GI/GI nutrition
• Lab
• Bariatric
• Pharmacy
• Surgery
• Urology
• Pulmonology

Demand for these services is growing in Centre County, and the growing healthplex will  reduce patients’ wait times through expanding programs, hiring more providers and  offering more appointments. As programs mature, the development will improve access  for our patients making better health easier for our communities. 

“The expansion of Geisinger Healthplex State College will address the growing need for  care in Centre County,” said Tammy Anderer, chief administrative officer of Geisinger’s  Western Region. “This is another step toward making better health easier by bringing a 

comprehensive spectrum of services to our patients and community.”  

Services will be grouped in the facility for convenience, such as placing pediatrics next  to women’s health, and orthopaedics near imaging services. The main entrance will also  be redesigned in the back of the building. 

“The expansion project exemplifies the commitment of Geisinger to best support our  team in the pursuit of continued access to efficient, convenient and top-quality care for  our patients,” remarked Dr. Michael Sobolewski, DO, Geisinger Western Region  Musculoskeletal division chief. “It will also provide growth and diversity of subspecialty  providers and the treatment options our team is able to provide right here in our  community.”  

“Our pediatrics patients will enjoy a larger clinic, allowing for more exam rooms and a  dedicated space for pediatric subspecialists as well as our Child Psychology and  Psychiatry partners,” said Dr. Joy Drass, MD, medical director for Pediatrics in  Geisinger’s Western and North-Central regions. “We’ll have a separate clinic flow for  sick and well patients and will have rooms outfitted to be more comfortable for our  breastfeeding moms and lactation appointments.” 

Facility expansion is set to be complete in the summer of 2024.
