Geisinger Through the Years: A Time Line

In 1912, 85-year-old Abigail Geisinger of Catawissa purchased land to begin making better health easier in rural Pennsylvania.  

Her vision: a hospital honoring her late husband, a Susquehanna Valley iron magnate. “Make my hospital right. Make it the best,” she directed her fellow founders. In 1915, the George F. Geisinger Memorial Hospital opened in Danville — a little early, spurred by a typhoid epidemic.

Since then, that single hospital has blossomed into an integrated healthcare system. We have 10 hospitals, 25,000 employees, more than 1,700 physicians, a health insurance plan, a research arm and a college that trains doctors, nurses and administrators. Central and northeastern Pennsylvanians enjoy top-notch care, and the entire state can rely on Geisinger Health Plan coverage.

Underpinned by research and innovation, our physician-led system has doubtless become more than Abigail Geisinger ever imagined. We think she’d be proud.
