Regional health system integrating 9 hospitals across Pennsylvania
Penn Highlands Healthcare operates a multi-hospital network across Pennsylvania with 5,001–10,000 employees, anchored by legacy clinical systems (Cerner, Meditech) and a heavy patient-care operational footprint. Hiring velocity is accelerating—401 roles posted in the last 30 days—with 511 positions in healthcare roles, driven by active onboarding of newly acquired entities and a strategic push into telemedicine. The organization is wrestling with post-acquisition integration, revenue-cycle friction (days in accounts receivable), and regulatory compliance across specialized programs (340b drug purchasing, retail pharmacy).
Notable leadership hires: Regional Director, Critical Care Director, Home Health Director, Nursing Director, Patient Access Director
