York, Pa.-based WellSpan Health opened WellSpan Shrewsbury (Pa.) Hospital March 24, making it the system’s 11th hospital.
The hospital comprises an emergency department and 10 inpatient beds. It also offers diagnostic services including laboratory testing, X-ray, computed tomography and ultrasound, according to a March 24 news release. WellSpan did not reveal the hospital’s project cost.
WellSpan Shrewsbury is part of WellSpan’s larger initiative to open three neighborhood hospitals in early 2026. The system opened WellSpan Newberry Hospital in Newberry Township, Pa., March 10, and plans to open another facility in Carlisle, Pa., this year.
“These hospitals are intentionally designed to improve the patient experience,” Dan Hernandez, vice president of WellSpan’s neighborhood hospitals, said in the release. “By streamlining care in a smaller setting, we can see, treat and discharge patients more quickly, without compromising quality or services. We’re proud to offer this approach to emergency care and look forward to serving this community.”
