Welcome Message from CEO Jeannine Peterson
Hamilton Health Center has been providing quality medical care to residents of the Greater Harrisburg area for more than 40 years; with five medical and dental locations throughout the Harrisburg area, as well as 12 WIC sites. In 2010 Hamilton experienced unprecedented demand for all of its services, providing more than 67,000 medical and dental visits to more than 19,000 men, women and children and serving more than 6,500 women and children through the WIC program. This was a 29% increase in patients seen and a 30% increase in medical and dental visits over the three year period 2008-2010.
Hamilton has significantly impacted the economic health of the community, employing a diverse work force of over 140 healthcare, administrative and support staff and infusing over 17 million dollars into the local economy since 2009. We will continue to provide the communities of Greater Harrisburg with outstanding service for many years to come. Please support us in our efforts to expand our services in our Capital Campaign.
A Vision for the Future – Capital Campaign
Over the past three years the demand for our services has caused an unprecedented growth in both patients and visits (medical and dental). Although we have expanded our hours of operation, the number of patients being seen exceeds current facility capacity, creating operational inefficiencies. We have attempted to respond to this growing need not only by increasing our hours of operation but also by increasing our number of sites. However, this piecemeal approach to space constraints is no longer effective.
Our new facility is located at 110 South 17th Street, one of the most densely populated and lowest income communities in Harrisburg. This existing 67,000 square foot building is on a 2.6 acre site and includes parking.
