Allegheny Health Network and Highmark Health plan a new 150,000 SF hospital at the Southpointe II business park in Cecil Township. The facility will replace AHN Canonsburg Hospital, with construction beginning in early 2027 and an opening targeted for 2029.
Allegheny Health Network and Highmark Health are advancing plans for a new full-service hospital in southwestern Pennsylvania, marking a generational replacement of one of Washington County’s longest-running care providers. A hospital that has served the Canonsburg area since the early twentieth century will give way to a modern campus built for a region whose population center has shifted.
Much of that shift traces to the townships surrounding Canonsburg, where residential growth has outpaced the county as a whole. Cecil Township led with a double-digit percentage increase over the previous Census period, and adjacent communities including Chartiers, North Strabane and Peters posted gains of their own. Placing the new campus near this cluster positions it amid the county’s faster-growing communities.
Plans also fit within a wider expansion that AHN has pursued across western Pennsylvania in recent years, a program that has added hospitals, cancer centers and outpatient pavilions throughout its footprint. A new Canonsburg facility carries that pattern into one of the area’s busier business parks.
Continuity for staff features in the plans, with roughly 400 current employees slated to move into equivalent roles and clinical teams invited to inform design choices. According to a joint announcement from the two organizations, construction is anticipated to begin in early 2027, pending approvals, with an opening targeted for 2029.
The replacement hospital will measure approximately 150,000 SF on a 10-acre parcel within the Southpointe II business park, at the intersection of Town Center Way and Mylan Boulevard in Cecil Township.
