Geisinger Health System engaged AFCA to assist in developing a comprehensive, long term Northeast Strategy and Master Plan for both Wyoming Valley and South Wilkes-Barre to address the current and projected needs of Geisinger Health in the next 10 years. The short term initiatives were completed within the budget and allotted time frame and consisted of, for the Wyoming Valley campus: support services expansion (pharmacy, food service, and loading dock expansions), expansion of the Critical Care Building for Surgical Services, and expansion of the Henry Cancer Center.
For the South Wilkes-Barre campus, the initiatives consisted of: demolition of aging infrastructure, acquisition of parcels required for a Medical Office Building, construction of a new Medical Office Building, and construction of a new Emergency Department and loading dock addition. System and ambulatory strategies included: reduced lease space footprint, targeted new ambulatory locations, and additions for the Endocscopy Center expansion.
