Geisinger to acquire Pennsylvania physician group

Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger Health System will acquire Scranton, Pa.-based Professional Orthopaedic Associates, effective Jan. 1, 2018.

Officials said the practice will operate as the Geisinger Musculoskeletal Institute once the transaction is complete. All 52 employees at the practice will become Geisinger employees, effective Jan. 1.

The practice will remain at its current location, officials noted. However, all inpatient surgeries scheduled after Jan. 1 will be performed at Scranton, Pa.-based Geisinger Community Medical Center.

As part of the agreement, Geisinger will invest $1.5 million in the practice, upgrading its technology and equipment and installing an Epic EHR system.
