STATE COLLEGE — Patton Township, College Township, the State College Borough and the CBICC honored Mount Nittany Health employees by officially proclaiming May 8-12, 2023, as Mount Nittany Health Week in Centre County. Established in 2018, Mount Nittany Health Week celebrates the employees for all the hard work they do to serve the Centre Region.
The official proclamations thank “the board, leadership and team of Mount Nittany Health for their enduring legacy of service to the community.” Kurt Kissinger, chief strategy and system development officer at Mount Nittany Health, thanked the officials for this recognition that Mount Nittany Health is an important community asset. As a community-governed system, the Mount Nittany Health team lives and works in the region and believes this makes a positive difference in patient care. Mount Nittany Health Week provides an opportunity to celebrate this team.
Throughout the week, Mount Nittany Health employees will be able to attend and participate in a wide range of activities — in person and online — including games, scavenger hunts, caricature portraits and more. Additionally, employees will be treated to snacks and meals at the medical center and other MNH locations. The week is a time where the Mount Nittany Health community comes together to celebrate the health care heroes who go above and beyond each day in service to the mission of “Healthier people, stronger communities.”
With more than 2,400 employees in 19 locations, Mount Nittany Health is grateful to the dedicated employees who are committed to providing patient-centered and compassionate care. Mount Nittany Health staff members bring compassion, expertise and ongoing commitment to caring for the families, neighbors and friends of the local community.
Founded in 1902, the Mount Nittany Medical Center began as an eight-bed infirmary in Bellefonte. More than 120 years later, Mount Nittany Health has grown as an independent, community-governed health system that serves more than 400,000 members of the community and has more than 220 providers, 30 medical specialties and 19 locations.
