WPSU
The public hearing PennDOT held Tuesday on plans for the State College Area Connector project drew a crowd of residents, many of whom said they see the need to improve road safety on the stretch of U.S. Route 322 the project targets, but who are also concerned about the impact on farmland, the environment and neighborhoods.
Geisinger Healthplex State College finished expansions in early 2025. Since then, the Pennsylvania Department of Health designated the location a "hospital outpatient clinic" of the Geisinger Lewistown hospital, meaning patients could get facility fees.
WPSU explores what a facility fee is, why hospital outpatient clinics charge them and what’s being done at the state level to protect people against surprise bills from facility fees.
WPSU’s mobile app, with CarPlay, gives you easy access to local news, videos and more.
Every Monday, poet Marjorie Maddox will read a poem from a contemporary Pennsylvania poet. Listen Monday mornings at 7:45 and Monday afternoons at 4:44, beginning September 15.
