Mount Nittany Medical Center, part of Mount Nittany Health, is a 260-bed, full-service hospital located in State College, Pennsylvania and has proudly served the community since 1902. For more than 120 years, we’ve been committed to helping the people of Happy Valley and Central Pennsylvania feel better and live healthier lives. Today, the Medical Center is supported by more than 2,100 dedicated employees and provides a wide range of comprehensive services, including 24/7 emergency care, medical and surgical services, diagnostic imaging, lab testing, inpatient care, sleep services, and cancer care at the Lance and Ellen Shaner Cancer Pavilion. With more than 60 specialty programs—such as spine surgery, orthopedics and sports medicine, urology, primary care, ExpressCARE, telehealth and more—we deliver high-quality, compassionate care close to home.
As the cornerstone of Mount Nittany Health, Mount Nittany Medical Center is part of a larger, independent, community-governed health system that also includes Mount Nittany Physician Group. Together, Mount Nittany Health is made up of approximately 2,600 employees, more than 185 providers, 17 locations, and over 30 medical specialties, serving more than 400,000 residents across six counties. What began in 1902 as Bellefonte Hospital—a small frame house with just six beds—has grown into a trusted regional health system rooted in the mission of Healthier People, Stronger Community. Looking ahead, we remain focused on strategic growth, wellness initiatives, preventive care, and improved access, ensuring that our future reflects the values, needs, and dreams of the communities we serve.
