Becoming better doctors
How simulation sharpens medical skills
Welcome to the online fall edition of PA Health magazine.
You’ll find all the great content from our print edition. Like remarkable stories about our neighbors’ triumphs over health challenges. And ways to make the most of our region’s natural areas and recreation spots. Plus, delicious, healthy recipes.
You’ll also find bonus content, like more tasty treats to make, inspiring videos about local people who are thriving after facing health issues — and quick links to in-depth information about the conditions they’ve overcome. Because when we share resources, we make good health more accessible for everyone.

We’ve been part of the region for more than 100 years — celebrating with you at parades, fairs and sports events and supporting happenings that lift up our communities. Here’s the latest on how we’re connecting with you and your neighbors.
Nursing takes center stage
Not only do we have a new Geisinger School of Nursing in Lewistown, but the Juniata River Valley Chamber of Commerce awarded the school its #ChooseOptimism Award.
Healing from trauma
Patients and physicians gathered to observe National Trauma Survivors Day at Geisinger Medical Center, Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center and Geisinger Community Medical Center. Outside Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Geisinger has the only two traumatologists (physicians specially trained to treat trauma) in PA.
Fun is everywhere at the fair
Ferris wheels. Farm animals. Food. Every year, central Pennsylvanians flock to the Bloomsburg Fair. And as an annual sponsor, Geisinger promotes health and wellness through ZING543210. Stop by our booth and say hello!
Drive through to stop the flu
Fend off the flu this fall by getting vaccinated. And it’s easier than ever when you can stay in your car! Try one of Geisinger’s flu shot drive-throughs — or get one at your next clinic visit. Visit events.geisinger.org to find a flu event near you.
Centralizing care in Centre County
By late 2024, an expansion of Geisinger Healthplex State College will group related services to streamline your visit. Plus, a brand-new Geisinger Primary Care Bellefonte Medical Clinic puts primary care and ConvenientCare in one spot.
Do you have a story to tell?
If you have a story suggestion or an amazing health story to tell, we’d love to hear it, and maybe we’ll even feature it in an upcoming issue of PA Health magazine.
