Thursday was a historic day for one Schuylkill County community.
The ground-breaking ceremony took place for the building of a new hospital for Geisinger and St. Luke's.
Administrators say it’s the first time two health care systems have agreed to build and equally co-own a new hospital in Pennsylvania.
Both entities will contribute physicians and support staff to the new "Geisinger St. Luke's Hospital" partnership that started two years ago.
The 80 bed hospital will have an emergency department and a full range of specialties and services.
It’s the first time in more than 90 years that a new hospital is being built in the County.
