Key Healthcare Markets in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's healthcare market features two major metropolitan hubs along with significant regional systems:
- Philadelphia -- Penn Medicine (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania), Jefferson Health, Temple University Hospital, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and a robust network of outpatient imaging centers
- Pittsburgh -- UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), Allegheny Health Network, and Carnegie Mellon University research imaging programs
- Lehigh Valley -- Lehigh Valley Health Network and St. Luke's University Health Network in the Allentown-Bethlehem area
- Central Pennsylvania -- Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and UPMC facilities in the Harrisburg region
Pennsylvania's deep investment in academic medicine and research imaging, including advanced 7T MRI programs, demands expert RF shielding design and installation.
Why Local MRI Shielding Expertise Matters
