Have an upcoming appointment? Be prepared:

✅ Check-ins and appointments might take a little longer as we adjust to the new system. Arrive a few minutes early to allow for extra check-in time.

✅ You may be asked additional questions to confirm your identity and information. Bring a photo ID and insurance card, if you have them available.

Our team may spend more time on the computer during your appointment as we get familiar with this new system. This helps us make sure your information is accurate and up-to-date.

For the fourth consecutive reporting period, we’ve earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group. 🌟

This is more than an award — it’s a reflection of the dedication our teams bring to patient care every single day.

Our chief medical officer, Upendra Thaker, MD, said it best: “Patient safety is foundational to everything we do.” And this recognition? It’s proof of the collaborative spirit that makes our employees, providers and leadership a true team.

From earning CMS’s Five-Star Overall Hospital Quality Rating for seven consecutive periods to being named one of Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals year after year, these achievements represent our unwavering commitment to safe, high-quality care for our community.

Happy Memorial Day! Let us pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

This week at Mount Nittany Medical Center, we displayed a Missing Man Table — a solemn tribute that serves as a reminder of United States military service members who did not come home.

Each item on the Missing Man Table represents emotions and feelings reserved for fallen, missing or imprisoned service members and their families. This display symbolizes that they are here with us, in spirit and memory, and reminds us not to forget the brave Americans who answered our nation’s call to serve and fight for our freedom with honor.

Missing Man Table symbolism:
⭕ Round table symbolizes everlasting concern for missing service members.
🤍 White tablecloth represents the purity of their motive to answer the call to serve.
🌹 Single red rose reminds us of these Americans’ lives and their loved ones who keep the faith while seeking answers.
🎀 Red ribbon symbolizes our continued determination to account for the missing.
🍋 Lemon slice represents the bitter fate of the captured and missing in a foreign land.
🧂 Salt symbolizes the tears of the missing and their families, who long for answers after decades of uncertainty.
🕯️ Lighted candle reflects our hope for their return.
🥂 Inverted glass symbolizes their inability to share in a toast.
🪑 Empty chair represents their absence in all aspects of their former life.

As we celebrate Memorial Day, we honor those who gave everything for our freedom.❤️💙
