The Plan for Change

Susquehanna Health is in the midst of a $250 million construction and renovation project (Project 2012)—the largest expansion in our history.

Project 2012

Project 2012 was designed to help us overcome challenges related to aging facilities and to accommodate the latest technology. The expansion and renovation of our building structures will enable us to:

• Incorporate the latest in digital technology to allow us to maximize medical services and efficiencies.
• Improve physician and nursing staff recruitment and retention.
• Enhance the patient and family experience.
• Promote "green environment" with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. LEED is a rating tool used to assess and improve plans for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials and resources selection and indoor environmental quality.
