Currently there is a shortage of physicians in central Pennsylvania, which has made it difficult to manage the health needs of our community in the past, including Penn State employees, retirees and their dependents. We are working very hard to overcome this challenge by growing our Penn State Hershey medical team in State College. In early 2010, the Penn State Hershey Medical Group in State College consisted of one location on Park Avenue. Today, the Medical Group has expanded to five outpatient sites including an endoscopy center, as well as laboratory and primary care walk-in services. This extends the expertise and exceptional quality care of Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Centercloser to home for many patients in Centre County. Penn State Hershey continues to recruit highly trained providers in a variety of specialties to practice at these locations. We are excited to be involved in training the next generation of physicians and other health professionals in the State College community, thanks to the support and leadership of Harold Paz, M.D., Dean of Penn State College of Medicine. Primary care and rural-based medicine are the centerpiece of our mission. Most importantly, these clinical and educational advancements will provide greater access and quality health care to our patients. Please browse around our website for details about our services and providers, and stay tuned for more information about the University Park Regional Campus. E. Eugene Marsh, M.D.
