School of Nursing awarded $2.5 million grant for building renovation project

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf announced that Geisinger College of Health Sciences was awarded a $2.5 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant for a School of Nursing renovation project. The funds will be used to renovate and repurpose a vacated building in downtown Lewistown into a fully functional, stateof-the-art facility to house the school.

The new expanded facility will allow the school to increase the number of nursing graduates to serve both Mifflin and Juniata counties, as well as the Commonwealth, while providing additional space for the growth of the School of Nursing in the future.
