Overview of Penn Highlands Elk

Penn Highlands Elk has a long history of providing quality care to the region. With campuses in St. Marys and Ridgway, and physician offices in several locations throughout the region, it proudly serves the residents of Elk and Cameron counties. The hospital was created due to the Spanish Influenza epidemic of 1918 that hit St. Marys very hard. The town had no hospital and the care of the desperately sick was often in the hands of untrained volunteers.
