Summit Health to build new medical building in Greencastle – Herald-Mail Media

GREENCASTLE, Pa. Summit Health is planning to build a medical office building in the Greencastle-Antrim community.

Construction could begin as soon as this summer in Antrim Township, Pa.

John Massimilla, chief operating officer of Chambersburg (Pa.) Hospital, confirmed this week that plans for the Summit-owned site at Exit 3 of Interstate 81 have changed since the project was proposed in spring 2015.

Originally, we planned to place an urgent care at the location, he said. We decided we wanted to plan a facility similar to the Waynesboro (Pa.) Medical Office Building in Greencastle because it is important to us that we provide convenient, accessible health care options to residents of Greencastle and northern Washington County.

The Waynesboro Medical Office Building opened in April 2015 adjacent to Waynesboro Hospital on East Main Street. The $15 million, three-story facility took about a year to construct.

The building houses Summit Health services for breast care, cancer and hematology, cardiology, endocrinology, ENT and hearing, orthopedic, podiatry, urology, women's health, surgical, primary care and walk-in.

It is planned that the (Greencastle) building will be about the same size as the Waynesboro Medical Office Building, Massimilla said.

He said Summit Health has not decided what services will be offered at the Greencastle location.

Summit Health houses a number of services at the John L. Grove Medical Center on the east side of Greencastle. Those services include primary care, walk-in, imaging, lab and women's health.

Plans for specific services located at the new facility have not been decided, Massimilla said when asked if any of those services would be moved to the new facility.

The Antrim Township Board of Supervisors gave approval Tuesday for Summit Health to begin moving dirt at the site while the plan is going through the review process.

The area of the new medical office building, known as the Antrim Commons Business Park, is a busy one.

In addition to several warehouses being built, the new location for Blaise Alexander Chevrolet Volvo is under construction, and El Dorado Stone is building a new production facility.

Summit Health hopes to begin construction by late summer or fall, Massimilla said.
