Local officials cut the ribbon on Hamilton Health Center’s Steelton location.
A new healthcare facility will promote the well-being of Steelton residents.
On Thursday morning, Harrisburg-based nonprofit Hamilton Health Center cut the ribbon on a new 20,000-square-foot location in Steelton, expanding its footprint.
Hamilton Health broke ground on the project in March 2023. The new facility at 120 N. Front St. is the organization’s fifth location in central PA, with other locations in Harrisburg, Newport, Millersburg and Lower Paxton Township.
“Today, the residents of Steelton and the surrounding area now have a healthcare home that’s even closer to their home,” said Terese DeLaPlaine, president and CEO of Hamilton Health Center.
The new center is part of a mixed-use development, The Steel Works project, developed by Wormleysburg-based Integrated Development Partners. The development includes Hamilton Health Center, a retail store and an apartment complex.
The health center will officially open to patients on Monday, July 15, offering a full spectrum of family care to men, women and children.
“This is an exciting time for Hamilton, and it’s all part of our continuing mission to provide care for all in the community who need it,” DeLaPlaine said.
The building comprises two floors, each with 10,000 square feet of space, including nine exam rooms and a designated area for future expansion. Currently, there is one physician on staff, and the center has plans to add more.
In the coming months, the center will add a full-service pharmacy, with a drive-through, and behavioral health services, substance abuse services and a WIC nutritional program office. They will also host Baby Love, Center of Excellence and Healthy Start programs.
Steelton Mayor Ciera Dent emphasized the need for a closer healthcare facility for Steelton residents, stressing its importance as many lack transportation options.
“I am super excited, and I thank Hamilton Health for being here,” Dent said. “We are going to have an amazing time working with Hamilton Health.”
