Penn College names new medical director for physician assistant program

Williamsport, Pa. — Penn College has announced the appointment of alumnus Kevin A. Hickman as medical director of its physician assistant program. As medical director, Hickman ensures that the curriculum, clinical experiences, and program competencies remain current, relevant, and aligned with contemporary medical practice.

Gas Well Boom Puts Flatbed Hauling Back to Work in North Central PA

Sit in a diner off US-220 near Williamsport and you’ll probably hear it from the next booth: the rigs are busy again. After a couple of slow years, drilling crews are back on pads across Lycoming and Bradford counties. Each pad needs steel, mats and machinery hauled up roads mostly built for milk trucks and school buses. Almost all of it rides on open decks, which is why flatbed hauling services in the region are booked out again. The activity shows up in the numbers: as Penn Business Report notes, citing the Independent Fiscal Office , Pennsylvania drilled 446 new wells in 2025, up 44.3% and the first annual increase since 2022, with Lycoming and Bradford among the five counties that produced 70% of the state’s gas. More wells mean more freight, and most of it won’t fit in a box. Casing pipe comes in long joints, often 40 feet or more. Rig mats are big and awkward. Pump skids and wellhead parts get lifted on and off with a crane or a large loader. What the roads are like up there Getting to a well pad in Bradford County is rarely a straight shot. You can run US-6 into

All pump station roofs finished in $10.7M Williamsport levee project

Williamsport, Pa. — The City of Williamsport and SEDA-Council of Governments say all eight pump station roof replacements are finished under an approximately $10.7 million federal levee improvement project, with electrical upgrades and the next phase of relief-well engineering still moving ahead. Betsy Kramer, director of community revitalization and flood resiliency at SEDA-COG, reported the milestones to Williamsport City Council on Thursday, Nov. 5, according to a SEDA-COG release issued Nov. 9. The work is part of the city’s fiscal 2023 Legislative Pre-Disaster Mitigation (LPDM) Levee Improvement Project. Weatherproofing Technologies Inc., working through the Keystone Purchasing Network, completed the roof replacements at all eight pump stations in the project scope, SEDA-COG said. Additional stabilization work is underway. Electrical improvements at the levee pump stations are advancing after City Council approved the electrical construction contract in August. Lecce Electric is coordinating the work with Greenman-Pedersen Inc., the city’s construction management and inspection consultant, the release said. AECOM has submitted a proposed engineering scope, dated Oct. 13, for the next phase of relief-well replacement. The proposal includes about 25 geotechnical borings, 10 test and pumping wells, pumping tests, seepage and stability analyses, and engineering plans, specifications and construction cost estimates, and has
