Pennsylvania Health System to Consolidate Outpatient Services

Altoona (Pa.) Regional Health System will consolidate its outpatient services, relocating them from individual hospitals within the system to the new Station Medical Center, according to a report by the Altoona Mirror.

The consolidation is part of a proposed larger consolidation of services between the Bon Secours facility in Altoona and the Altoona Hospital, which merged in 2004 to create the Altoona Regional Health System, according to the report.

As part of the consolidation, imaging, pre-anesthesia evaluation, sleep lab, cardiac rehab, lab services and physical therapy will relocate from the individual hospitals to the Station Medical Center location.

The transfer of outpatient services is expected to be completed by 2010.
