🎉 March is National Athletic Training Month! 🎉

We’re excited to team up with the National Athletic Trainers Association to celebrate the amazing work of athletic trainers. This year’s theme, ‘Care You Can Count On,’ is all about recognizing these skilled healthcare professionals!

At Mount Nittany Health, our athletic trainers are always there for our local schools, like State College, Bald Eagle, Bellefonte, and Penns Valley Area school districts. They also work hand-in-hand with our orthopedic providers, crafting care plans that help patients bounce back stronger.

Whether they’re on the sidelines or in the clinic, their commitment to a healthier community is unwavering.

Let’s give a big shoutout to our athletic trainers for their dedication and compassion in keeping our community healthy and strong! 💪

✨So proud of our Happy Valley Hero Kara Force, RN, BSN!✨

Congrats to this week’s Happy Valley Hero, Kara Force 💕

“Kara is an exceptional labor and delivery nurse at Mount Nittany medical center. She doesn’t just bring life into the world daily at work, she offers reassurance in the face of fear and strength when exhaustion sets in. Her dedication turns vulnerability into empowerment, reminding every mother that she is capable, supported, and never alone. However she isn’t only a hero at work, recently Kara was able to save an 8 year little boy from choking by doing the Heimlich maneuver while she was picking up her own child from school. She has so much compassion and love, she’s a beaming ray of light and she’s the true definition of a happy valley hero.”

Thank you to Doan's Bones Barbecue for the delicious food and thank you to Timberland Federal Credit Union and PBCI-Allen Mechanical & Electrical for making our Happy Valley Heroes giveaway possible!l

With a deep commitment to patient care and a genuine compassion that resonates with patients, families and colleagues, Halee Chase, RN, Progressive Care Unit (PCU) at Mount Nittany Medical Center, consistently brings heart, integrity and professionalism to every shift.

Her ability to create a supportive, trusting environment — while continually striving to grow in her role — strengthens her team and enhances the care Mount Nittany Health provides each day.

For these reasons and more, Halee was recently named the Mount Nittany Health Employee of the Month. ✨

A graduate of Clarion University, Halee began her career working in skilled nursing facilities, where she served as an admissions director and in social services. Inspired by her experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, she pursued a new path in nursing.

Halee has been a valued member of Mount Nittany Health since June 2024. Though early in her tenure, she has already made a lasting impression through her dedication to learning, her compassionate approach and her strong connection with both patients and colleagues.

Please join us in congratulating and thanking Halee for her exceptional care to this community ❤️

🚧 Important Update for Our Patients! 🚧

If you have an appointment with us at Mount Nittany Medical Center between April and July, please be aware that PennDOT will be closing the westbound exit from 322 as part of their construction work. Because of this state‑managed project, you’ll need to use one of two detours — either via Shiloh Road or by heading up to Toftrees and looping back.

To help keep your visit running smoothly, we recommend allowing a little extra time for travel and parking. Your health and time matter to us, and we want your arrival to be as easy as possible.

Stay up to date with construction and parking updates at: https://mountnittany.org/news-stories/parking-updates/mount-nittany-health-parking-and-detour-updates/
