Warfel Construction proudly partnered with Acadia Healthcare and Geisinger to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Acadia Geisinger Behavioral Health Hospital in Danville, PA, on May 8th, 2024.
This 72,578-square-foot facility will add 96 patient beds, providing vital behavioral health services to more than 1.2 million people across 45 counties in Pennsylvania. The hospital will specialize in treating individuals facing challenges like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Serving adult, adolescent, and pediatric patients, the facility will offer not only hope and healing but also opportunities for medical education as a teaching hospital, training students and residents from Geisinger’s College of Health Sciences.
Conlan Swope, President of Warfel Construction, highlighted the company’s dedication to community well-being: “We are deeply honored to contribute to this initiative and understand the critical need for accessible behavioral health services. This commitment is at the heart of our mission and informs everything we do.”
This marks Warfel’s second collaboration with Acadia Healthcare and Geisinger on behavioral health hospitals, following the opening of a similar facility in Moosic in August 2023. The project also adds to Warfel’s extensive behavioral health portfolio.
Rusty Hoffman, Project Executive, emphasized the project’s broader significance: “This hospital is more than just a new building; it reflects our dedication to fostering a healthier, stronger community.”
Scheduled for completion in Spring 2025, Warfel Construction remains committed to making a positive impact by leveraging its specialized expertise in constructing vital healthcare facilities.
