History edit

20th century edit

In 1963, the M. S. Hershey Foundation offered $50 million to the Pennsylvania State University to establish a medical school and teaching hospital in Hershey, Pennsylvania.[9] With this grant and $21.3 million from the U.S. Public Health Service, the university built a medical school, teaching hospital, and research center. Ground was broken in 1966 and Penn State's College of Medicine opened its doors to the first class of students in 1967. Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center accepted its first patients in 1970.[10][11]

The original buildings at the center included the Medical Science Building and medical center, Animal Research Farm, Laundry and Steam Plant, and University Manor Apartments. Since 1970, the campus has grown from 318 to 550 acres (2.2 km2). Many additions have been made to the academic and patient-care facilities.

The center also serves nursing students from Penn State College of Nursing B.S. degree program and students from other Penn State health-related programs. The extended B.S. degree program for nurses is offered in conjunction with the College of Health and Human Development. Continuing education programs serve health-care professionals throughout Pennsylvania, with enrollments exceeding 51,000 each year. The center conducts basic and clinical research, supported by more than $100 million in awards from federal, state, and private agencies, businesses, and individuals.

21st century edit

By the end of June 2010, the center admitted nearly 27,000 patients and provided care through over 854,000 outpatient and 57,000 emergency-service visits. Penn State Hershey Medical Center has over 8,801 employees, 400 volunteers, and the College of Medicine enrolls more than 800 students annually.
