Health: It’s a big business

Healthcare is big business in this region, employing hundreds of people

and creating the need for many additional services.

Of course, it also performs a vital mission for the area, allowing local

residents to obtain nearly all their care close to home.


And as this section of the Business Review and Forecast edition shows, many of those

important services are being improved and expanded.

More construction is planned this year at UPMC Northwest, one of the

largest hospitals in the area. Butler Health System is carrying out a major

renovation and expansion program. Clarion Hospital has completed a

successful year, while Titusville Area Hospital has made advances in heart

care and other specialties. There also have been advances at Grove City

Medical Center. You will find stories inside.
