Mount Nittany Health proudly hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 27, 2024, to formally celebrate Mount Nittany Health Toftrees, a state-of-the-art facility that will serve as a new home for a range of essential healthcare services.

The 125,000-square-foot facility will house nine Mount Nittany Health practices, including Obstetrics and Gynecology; Orthopedics and Sports Medicine; Fitness and Rehabilitation (formerly Fit for Play); Neurology (including the Headache Clinic); Ear, Nose, and Throat; Surgical Associates (formerly General Surgery); Urology; Primary Care (formerly Green Tech Family Medicine); and Gastroenterology. Additionally, the facility will introduce a new Pediatrics practice and an Outpatient Endoscopy Center to better serve the community’s healthcare needs.

During the ceremony, Mount Nittany Health leadership, healthcare providers, staff members, local dignitaries, and members of the community gathered to celebrate this milestone. Kathleen Rhine, President and CEO of Mount Nittany Health, addressed the attendees, highlighting the significance of this new facility in enhancing healthcare access and improving the patient experience.

“We are thrilled to open the doors of Mount Nittany Health Toftrees to our community,” said Rhine. “This facility represents our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive, high-quality healthcare services in a convenient, accessible location. Today’s ribbon cutting marks a new chapter in our mission of ‘Healthier people, stronger community.’”

The opening of Mount Nittany Health Toftrees is part of Mount Nittany Health’s broader strategy to expand and modernize healthcare services across the region. With the new Patient Tower at Mount Nittany Medical Center also underway and the recent opening of Mount Nittany Health ExpressCARE, the organization is poised to meet the growing healthcare needs of the community for years to come.

According to Christopher Hester, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Mount Nittany Physician Group, “By bringing these services together, we are enhancing the patient experience, ensuring that our community receives comprehensive, coordinated care in a modern, welcoming environment.”
