    Shapiro Administration Approves Reopening of Sharon Regional Medical Center

    March 15, 2025

    Harrisburg, PA – The Shapiro Administration announced today that the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) has approved the reopening of Sharon Regional Medical Center in Mercer County. The reopening date will be set by the operator.

    Tenor Health Foundation Sharon, LLC will operate the facility under the license of former owner Steward Health while pursuing a change in ownership to transfer licensure at a later date.

    “The Department of Health’s top priority is patient safety at Sharon Regional and all other health care facilities across the Commonwealth,” said Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen. “Dedicated DOH staff have spent extensive time and energy, working hundreds of hours, seven days a week to make certain that the hospital is in substantial compliance with regulatory standards.

    “As Secretary of Health, I understand the importance of health care access and the role hospitals play in communities, as well as the role the Department plays in enforcing regulatory standards in health care facilities, including Sharon Regional,” added Bogen. “We are pleased Sharon Regional is once again able to offer medical services to people in their community.”

    “The reopening of Sharon Regional Medical Center is a critical victory for the health and safety of our community. Adequate access to emergency care and services saves lives, and this will ensure that residents will have a hospital to turn to in times of crisis,” said Senator Michele Brooks. “I am grateful for the dedication of all involved in making this happen and look forward to seeing Sharon Regional once again serve the people of Mercer County.”

    “Sharon Regional Medical Center is a vital community resource that is counted on to provide critical health care services in our region,” said Representative Parke Wentling. “I am proud to have worked with my colleagues to ensure Sharon Regional is able to continue serving our friends and neighbors.”

    DOH licenses Pennsylvania hospitals and oversees whether facilities are following established minimum health and safety standards.
