Evangelical Community Hospital Closes on 21 Susquehanna Valley Mall Drive Purchase

June 30, 2022

SELINSGROVE - Evangelical Community Hospital has formally closed on the purchase of the property at 21 Susquehanna Valley Mall Drive, Selinsgrove.

The facility is currently home to SUN Orthopaedics of Evangelical's Selinsgrove practice, the Hospital's Selinsgrove Imaging Center, Physical Therapy of Evangelical, two Family Practice Center offices, and Corbin Audiology and Hearing Aid Center.

SUN Orthopaedics of Evangelical's Selinsgrove practice, the Hospital's Selinsgrove Imaging Center, and Physical Therapy of Evangelical will remain at the location for the immediate future.

Family Practice Center, PC will be moving the practice of Charles C. Pagana, MD; Charles M. Pagana II, MD; and James D. Pagana, MD to the Susquehanna Valley Mall in late July. The practice of Matthew J. McClure, DO, and Anne B. Ivie, MD will remain at the 21 Susquehanna Valley Mall Drive location.

Corbin Audiology and Hearing Aid Center will be moving to a new location in July.

"As we announced in March, the purchase of this property is connected to our expansion of services into leased space in the Susquehanna Valley Mall," said Kendra Aucker, President and CEO, Evangelical Community Hospital. "We plan to move SUN Orthopaedics of Evangelical's Selinsgrove practice and the Selinsgrove Imaging Center into the mall next to the Family Practice Center and Geisinger offices."

Long-term plans for the property at 21 Susquehanna Valley Mall Drive, Selinsgrove, will be finalized after the imaging and orthopaedic practices are relocated to the mall in 2023.

"The leased space in the mall provides convenient access for patients needing orthopaedic care or imaging services, particularly those already seeking other healthcare services at that location," added Aucker. "The location along Susquehanna Valley Mall Drive affords us a fantastic opportunity to provide expanded access to a variety of specialty practices and services in the region."

"It's important for our patients to know that the providers they've come to trust as their partners in health and wellness will remain in the Selinsgrove area," said Ben Williard, CPA, MBA, Chief Financial Officer, Family Practice Center. "The sale of the building will not change that."
