State Sen. John Yudichak, D-Luzerne/Carbon, announced that Lehigh Valley Health Network will receive $1 million as part of a multi-phased expansion project at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Hazleton’s Health & Wellness Center campus located along the Airport Beltway in Hazle and Butler townships.

The funding received will assist with a major expansion of facilities and consolidation of outpatient services that will create an ambulatory medical mall at this location.

New services being planned for the medical mall will include a medical pavilion, primary care pavilion, women and children’s pavilion, surgical center, cancer services expansion and an urgent care center. Additionally, wellness, rehab, fitness, cardiac rehab and ancillary testing services such as laboratory, cardiology and imaging will be centrally located at the medical mall.

“Lehigh Valley Health Network offers quality health care services to patients across northeastern Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley. Today’s funding will allow the Lehigh Valley Health Network to expand their services at the Lehigh Valley Hospital in Hazleton in an effort to deliver access to affordable, quality health care,” Yudichak said.
