State awards Sharon Regional $2 million for improvements
SHARON, Pa. (WKBN) — A $2 million infrastructure improvement grant has been awarded to Sharon Regional Medical Center. Sen. Michele Brooks (R-50) made the announcement on Friday. The grant is being awarded through the Commonwealth's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP). 'This funding for Sharon Regional demonstrates the commitment at the state level to ensure additional quality healthcare remains sustainable and available to the residents of Sharon and surrounding region,' Brooks said in a news release. 'The successful reopening of Sharon Regional Medical Center has been a critical victory for increased capacity, and the overall health and safety of our community; in addition, the investment of these funds will continue the established commitment from local and state leaders to help the hospital grow and thrive.' The release said a minimum of $500,000 will be for enhancements to the hospital's catheterization laboratory, and the remaining funds will be to enhance the hospital's physical plant. Medical Properties Trust, the company Sharon Regional leases the hospital's property from, is also working on projects such as replacing the hospital's roof. 'These infrastructure upgrades are an important step forward for Sharon Regional,' said Butch Eavenson, interim CEO of Sharon Regional, in the release. 'They lay the foundation for consistent, high-quality care and reflect the commitment of those working hard to restore essential services in our community.' Patient care services will continue during construction. Timelines for construction are still being finalized. 'The work underway at Sharon Regional is focused on creating a strong and sustainable foundation for care delivery,' said Radha Savitala, founder of Tenor Health Foundation. 'Investing in the facility is a critical part of ensuring patients can rely on the care they need, close to home.' The RACP is a Commonwealth grant program administered by the Office of the Budget for the design, acquisition, and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects.

Sharon Regional Medical Center set to reopen Tuesday under new ownership
Sharon Regional Medical Center, closed in early January after the bankruptcy of its former corporate owners, will be reopening Tuesday. The hospital, under the ownership of California-based Tenor Health, received the regulatory go-ahead from the Pennsylvania Department of Health late Friday. Tenor Health, which has been in preparation for the reopening for two months, held a community event Sunday. 'It was a full house today at Sharon Regional Medical Center as we came together to celebrate a new chapter for this local community hospital,' state Sen. Michele Brooks, R-50th District, said Sunday on Facebook. 'Opening Tuesday!' Sharon Regional Medical Center closed on Jan. 5 despite efforts from the Shapiro administration and others to keep it open. The 163-bed hospital employed 800 people. But even amid its closing, Tenor Health — a hospital management company — had been working with the owner of the property, Medical Properties Trust, and others to reopen the hospital.
