Project Completed - April 2022
The Penn Highlands Clearfield Emergency Department has undergone a $6 million renovation to efficiently meet the healthcare needs of the Greater Clearfield and Moshannon Valley regions.

Enhanced Patient Flow
The renovation added:
- Two triage rooms for more efficient flow.
- Two trauma bays.
- Eight private exam rooms.
- Two behavioral health rooms.
- A designated OB/GYN room.
- An Isolation room for greater safety.
