UPMC Sports Medicine expands surgical services to Muncy hospital
Muncy, Pa. — In a move that increases access to specialized orthopedic and sports medicine care for patients throughout the region, UPMC Sports Medicine has expanded surgical services to UPMC Muncy hospital. The expansion provides additional opportunities for patients to receive surgical care within UPMC’s regional network, helps improve access, and will potentially reduce wait times while maintaining the same high-quality care from the UPMC Sports Medicine surgeons and care teams that patients already know and trust. “When someone is dealing with a painful injury or condition, getting the right care matters,” said Andrea Reed, president, UPMC Muncy. “Expanding UPMC Sports Medicine surgical services to UPMC Muncy helps us meet the growing needs of patients across our region by creating additional access to specialized orthopaedic care close to home. It's another way we're leveraging the strengths of our regional health system to deliver a seamless experience and the high-quality care patients expect from UPMC Sports Medicine.” Within UPMC Sports Medicine’s regional care model, surgeons and care teams work closely with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan based on their unique needs, procedure requirements, and clinical considerations, ensuring care is delivered in the most appropriate setting.

No dollar amount is worth a lifetime of noise and risk, Gregg Township says | Opinion
Recently, PNK Group was featured in local newspapers and radio announcements after proposing a $4-million Community Benefit Agreement to Gregg Township, Allenwood. PNK is proposing a data center complex directly bordering a neighborhood. The offer of $4 million is insufficient compensation for the community to endure a lifetime of noise, air pollution, and potential water pollution. We’d simply like to enjoy our backyards and have no desire to go to a park next to a data center.
