SAINT VINCENT FACILITY BRINGS ADVANCED NEUROLOGICAL NEUROSURGICAL CARE TOGETHER UNDER ONE ROOF Saint Vincent, a part of the Allegheny Health Network, on February 24, officially cut the ribbon to a new AHN Neuroscience Institute facility on the Erie hospital’s campus. Located on the lower level of the Hardner Building on the Saint Vincent campus, the new $4 million, 5,500 square-foot facility features 12 patient exam rooms, provider offices, and an EMG testing suite. The facility integrates AHN’s neurology and neurosurgical practices, which were previously housed in separate locations at 145 West 23rd Street and 1910 Sassafras Street. “With the opening of this beautiful new facility, we are surrounding patients in need of advanced neurosurgical or neurological care with a multidisciplinary team of specialists conveniently located under one roof,” said Donald Whiting, MD, AHN chief medical officer and chair of the AHN Neuroscience Institute. “Our goal through this significant investment is to provide as many patients as possible with the comprehensive services they need right here in Erie.” The Institute officially opened to patients on January 20.
