Mount Nittany plans new office building

Mount Nittany Health is deepening its commitment to Bellefonte with a new two-story, 40,000-square-foot medical office building at 987 E.

The new facility will bring together expanded services under one roof. Key features include a walk-in ExpressCARE clinic, a new imaging clinic and the relocation and expansion of primary care, pediatrics, lab services and the Children's Advocacy Center of Centre County. Primary care capacity will nearly double, with 18 exam rooms replacing the current 10, while pediatrics will grow to include eight exam rooms.
