Mount Nittany Health

What Mount Nittany Health does

Mount Nittany Health is an independent, non-profit regional health system headquartered in State College, Pennsylvania, founded in 1902 and currently operating as an Affiliated Covered Entity with subsidiaries that include Mount Nittany Medical Center, the Surgical Center, Mount Nittany Physician Group, Fitness & Rehabilitation, the Children's Advocacy Center of Centre County, and Mount Nittany Health Ventures. The system delivers the full continuum of community-based care—from primary care, ExpressCARE walk-in services, and telehealth, through specialty care in oncology, neurology/stroke, cardiology, orthopedics, urology, women's health, pediatrics, and palliative medicine—to residents across 27 central Pennsylvania counties, anchored by a flagship in-patient campus at 155 Wellness Way and a network of outpatient sites in State College, Reedsville, Huntingdon, and Bellefonte.

The clinical platform combines advanced medical technology (dual Da Vinci XI surgical robots, two TrueBeam linear accelerators for image-guided radiotherapy, a Galaxy robotic navigational bronchoscopy system, and SpaceOAR Hydrogel) with a recently modernized information backbone: in mid-2026 Mount Nittany transitioned from Meditech to Epic's electronic health record, deploying the Epic MyChart patient portal (MyMountNittany, 45% engagement) along with Epic's AI-enabled 'Chart with Art' ambient documentation and summarization tools. Oncology services are delivered through the Lance and Ellen Shaner Cancer Pavilion, operating within the Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute network (co-founded in 2000 with Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Lehigh Valley Hospital, and the Penn State College of Medicine), which treats more than 5,800 new cancer patients annually and has held American College of Surgeons Community Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Program designation since 1989.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service healthcare delivery (inpatient, outpatient, surgical, diagnostic, laboratory, and specialty care reimbursed via Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers), supplemented by patient co-pays, financial-assistance programs, and philanthropic contributions through the Mount Nittany Health Foundation. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer across the central Pennsylvania region, supplemented by certified athletic-trainer partnerships with four local school districts (Bellefonte, Bald Eagle, Penns Valley, and State College Area) and digital channels including the website, social media, the MyChart portal, and earned media. The system employs over 2,400 team members, runs more than 12,000 surgeries a year across 80+ surgeons, and has been named a Newsweek World's Best Hospital for six consecutive years while holding four consecutive Leapfrog Group 'A' safety grades.
