This project will support the
health system's growth in specialty
care, including WellSpan York
Hospital's Comprehensive Stroke
Center - a designation held by just
4 percent of hospitals nationwide
and one of only two in central
Pennsylvania. Here, care teams
coordinate with four other Primary
Stroke Centers across WellSpan to
offer expertise in stroke treatment.
As a result of the hospital's
ongoing expansion, which has been
underway for the past several years,
WellSpan York Hospital now boasts:

CS 315446-A 03/16/2020

CS 315446-ACS03/16/2020
315446-A 03/16/2020 CS 315446-A 03/16/2020

Centers in the region.
* One of the region's most advanced
interventional heart and vascular suites.
* A state-of-the-art Emergency Department.

* The largest Level 3 neonatal
intensive care unit (NICU) in
the region.

WellSpan York Hospital is considered a high
performer by U.S. News & World Report, in
neurology and neurosurgery, heart failure, and
colon cancer surgery, to name a few.

* One of only two Level 1
