The last beams completing the steel construction of the new Gilbertsville hospital are now in place, according to Lehigh Valley Health Network.

The health network said that everything is on track for the hospital and medical office to open by fall 2024.

The facilities will be located at Route 100 and Grosser Road, near the current Wawa convenience store and gas station.

At a recent ceremony at the construction site, Lehigh Valley Health Network President and CEO Dr. Brian A. Nester said that patients will receive the same high-quality and compassionate care they receive at all of the network’s facilities.

“Whether an emergency at the hospital or a routine medical visit at the health center, all of us are committed to making your experience exceptional,” he said.

“We deliver on that promise and you should expect no less.”

The new hospital, designed using the neighborhood hospital model, will be smaller than other hospitals in the network, but will still offer 24-hour, 7 day a week care.

Patients will have access to lab, imaging, and pharmacy services both inpatient and outpatient. And the Health Center at Gilbertsville will cover a variety of medical services, including Lehigh Valley Physician Group primary care and pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, rheumatology, physiatry, cardiology, cardiac and nuclear testing, breast health services, adult and pediatric rehabilitation and cardiac rehabilitation.
