Susquehanna Health Prepares to Meet the Needs of Our Communities — Actions Being Taken to Prepare for “Swine Flu” if Needed
In response to the H1N1 “Swine Flu” outbreak in neighboring states, Susquehanna Health (SH) continues to make preparations to treat and protect our patients, community residents, hospital family and facilities.
All patients presenting with respiratory symptoms in our Emergency departments located at The Williamsport Hospital & Medical Center and Muncy Valley Hospital will be screened and
triaged appropriately. We are also preparing by increasing our supplies of surgical masks, goggles and hospital gowns.
In the event of a potential outbreak of this flu strain, SH is working on a process to triage patients to an area outside of our hospital facility, but located on our property.

We firmly believe we need to give back to the communities we do business in," says Don Stringfellow, PPL Regional Community Relations Director.

With the end goal of providing premier healthcare services in North Central Pennsylvania, Project 2012 will reduce the need for local individuals to leave the region for medical care. Included in the project are renovation and expansion of the Emergency Department, the Heart and Vascular Institute and upgrades to Susquehanna Cancer Center. The campaign also supports physician recruitment and will enhance access to care.
