History
Originally established in 1873, Williamsport Regional Medical Center (WRMC) is a general medical and surgical hospital in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, operating 203 beds. The hospital is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. Services include the Heart & Vascular Institute, the first intensive care unit in Central Pennsylvania, pharmacy, 24-hour emergency department, inpatient services including same day surgery, a family practice residency program, and more.
Following several industrial accidents that occurred in the early 1870s, members of the Lycoming County Medical Society decided there was a need for a hospital where patients could be fed and cared for in a clean environment. In 1873, upon petition by members of the Lycoming County Medical Society and 23 leading citizens of the community, the Lycoming County Court granted a Charter establishing The Williamsport Hospital.
Williamsport Regional Medical Center was part of an alliance of three hospitals that formed Susquehanna Health in 1994. Williamsport Regional Medical Center became of the UPMC network when Susquehanna Health was integrated into the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) on October 18, 2016.
