Penn State Health operates Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Holy Spirit Medical Center, Hampden Medical Center and St. Joseph Medical Center. Penn State Health was caring for 76 adult patients and 10 children with COVID-19 on Friday. That’s a major decline from early January, when it was caring for about 230 patients with COVID-19.
