The six-hospital system’s revenue increased to $2.2 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2015 compared to $2 billion in the same period of the preceding year.

The system attributed its revenue growth to an increase in net patient service revenue and an increase in premium revenue from Geisinger Health Plan.

The system experienced a 16.6 percent increase in admissions and a 26 percent increase in emergency room visits during the period ended Dec. 31, 2014. Membership in the system’s health plan increased 7.3 percent compared to the prior year.
