The structural steel work seen April 8 shows the progress in construction of a “neighborhood hospital” at 3369 Route 100 at the Macungie/Lower Macungie Township border. Lehigh Valley Health Network broke ground for the project Dec. 5, 2022. The 20,000-square-foot hospital will be a fully licensed and accredited acute care hospital, open 24-hours a day, seven days a week, housed in a state-of-the-art facility. Patients requiring surgery or higher levels of care will be stabilized and transferred to other, larger LVHN hospitals. A 30,000-square-foot medical office building is also being constructed at the site. Press Photo by Jim Marsh
