The two diverse communities combined hospitals to create Heritage Valley Health System, on November 1996. At present, they are recognized as a leading health care system in western Pennsylvania.
The board of directors outlined the health system's goals have to be improved in the next 10 years.
However, the two hospitals of the health system, Sewickley Valley Hospital and The Medical Center, are trying to compete in an area of relatively flat population growth and an aging population.
The Robert Morris University School of Osteopathic Medicine, planned to open in 2008, will be the largest part of that expansion in the next 10 years.
Though, the first class will not graduate until 2012, the school focuses on physician development and gives HVHS a new base from which to bring in new doctors and other medical practitioners.
Facing stiff competition in area hospitals for the recruitment of staffs and also give troublesome rates for medical malpractice insurance.
HVHS also plans to expand into the Cranberry/Wexford area and into the Airport Corridor, places where there is more population growth.
Members of the senior management group also discussed other key ingredients to making HVHS successful for the next 10 years, including information technology, human resources, quality and customer satisfaction and fiscal responsibility.
