AHN plans for new Canonsburg hospital
Allegheny Health Network and Highmark Health are expanding their footprint in Washington County.
The two organizations have announced plans to build a 150,000-square-foot facility that will replace the current AHN Canonsburg Hospital, while expanding access to healthcare services for residents.
The new hospital will be located in Cecil Township at the Southpointe II business park, 114 Southpointe Blvd. in Canonsburg.
Construction of the facility is expected to start early next year with an anticipated opening date in 2029.
The 10-acre property sits at the intersection of Town Center Way and Mylan Boulevard, overlooking Interstate 79.
“For more than a century, Canonsburg Hospital and its dedicated caregivers have provided this community with exceptional healthcare services, and that legacy is foundational to our vision for this beautiful new facility and the critical role it will play in improving the health and wellness of our patients,” said Mark Sevco, AHN president. “We are excited to get started on this important next chapter for AHN in Canonsburg and Washington County and to making world-class healthcare even more accessible to those who live here.”
AHN said around 400 current employees at AHN Canonsburg will transition to the new facility, with additional permanent healthcare workers expected to be hired as a result of the project.
The new hospital will offer primary, emergency, surgical and critical care services, and the campus will also include a medical office building housing various physician offices and outpatient clinics.
AHN Canonsburg was established in 1904 and has operated at its current Medical Boulevard location since 1983.
Canonsburg Hospital’s service area also is home to approximately 115,000 Highmark health plan members, according to AHN.
The project is pending as the health network now seeks regulatory and government approval.
