Mount Nittany Health

Help us improve health care in our community! We are looking for community leaders to share their input and expertise on the issues that impact our communities and the health of our residents. Every three years we use the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to collect statistical data and feedback from healthcare and social service representatives, community leaders and other stakeholders. The CHNA helps us to monitor health status across Centre County and guides our community benefit investments and health equity initiatives. Please complete the survey and share it with your colleagues and others who serve Centre County > https://ow.ly/Cx2P50TVznw

Meet Dr. Driskill! 👏 After relocating from San Diego, Dr. Driskill joined Mount Nittany Health, drawn to our patient-first, small-town approach. With a commitment to compassionate care, he says, “I believe it is a privilege to help people for a living.” As a comprehensive ENT physician, Dr. Driskill treats a range of conditions—from nasal and sinus issues to thyroid surgery and more. Outside the clinic, he’s an amateur chef, gardener, and guitarist. He enjoys life on his 4.5-acre property with his wife and their Mini-Bull Terrier, Penny Lane. Join us in welcoming Dr. Driskill to our community! To learn more about Dr. Driskill, visit: https://ow.ly/QTLo50TUI6m

Join us in congratulating Mike Sechrist, Help Desk Support, Information Services, as the most recent Mount Nittany Health Employee of the Month! Mike goes above and beyond in all situations to see that he can properly address any questions his colleagues may have at Mount Nittany Medical Center and at our other locations. Our organization is a better place because of his meticulous attention to detail and commitment to his work. One nominator wrote, "Mike was working overnight on July 19th when the IT outage happened. He worked through the night and into the afternoon of the next day to help get computers back up and running. Thanks to his quick response to the situation, the overnight crew was able to get the rest of the department prepared to handle and resolve the outage. Mike demonstrated an incredible ability to keep his composure and follow protocol in order to handle the problem effectively." Thank you Mike for your dedication to this community!

Mount Nittany Health is taking proactive measures in response to the ongoing national shortage of IV fluids caused by Hurricane Helene’s impact on Baxter International, one of the country’s largest IV fluid suppliers. While Baxter’s production facilities are gradually coming back online, the shortage is expected to continue through the end of the year. Our medical and clinical teams are working closely to conserve IV fluid usage while maintaining the highest standards of patient care. We are closely monitoring supply levels and will keep the public informed about any changes that may impact care. We are hopeful that we can avoid any postponements of scheduled procedures. Thank you for your support and understanding during this time. For more information, visit: https://ow.ly/Rg3b50TJIku
