April 8, 2024- UPMC has invested in the growth on the campus of UPMC Williamsport and across north central Pennsylvania with the opening of the newly renovated and expanded UPMC Rehabilitation Institute at 700 High St. in Williamsport. A public open house celebration was held on April 2. This facility provides additional space for delivering personalized care within a healing atmosphere focused on enhancing the patient experience.
The newly renovated space features 30 private rooms all with in-room bathrooms, two modern gyms, private treatment spaces for speech therapy and psychology services, a sensory room for quiet treatment of neurologic patients, conference space for staff, and additional common space for support groups, group therapy treatment including music therapy, and staff education. The expansion has also created space for a new low-level head injury program, one of only three programs of its type in Pennsylvania, designed for specialized treatment of traumatic brain injuries.
