The first business inside the new Bluffs at Glade Path development behind the Beaver Valley Mall opened on Monday.

CENTER TWP. — The first business inside the new Bluffs at Glade Path development behind the Beaver Valley Mall opened Monday.

Heritage Valley Health System announced in October 2017 it was building a new “medical neighborhood” in the development, which is 45 acres and will include a mix of residential and commercial properties.

Officially open for business as of Monday, Heritage Valley’s new facility is the eighth medical neighborhood it operates in the region. The 59,000-square-foot facility is the largest such facility run by Heritage Valley.

The medical neighborhood facility will offer primary and specialty care for patients as well as a walk-in clinic, diagnostic imaging and lab services, and a four-room ambulatory surgery center that will open later this spring.

It also will offer outpatient surgical services in the areas of orthopedics, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, general surgery, gynecology, podiatry and urology.

Norm Mitry, the president and chief executive officer of Heritage Valley, said in a news release that the company is proud to bring “high-quality, expanded health care services to Center Township.”

“It is the commitment of our board of directors to ensure that the communities we serve have access to the services they need without having to make a trip to the hospital,” he said. “Our medical neighborhoods are at the heart of meeting those needs.”

Heritage Valley currently operates medical neighborhood facilities in Chippewa Township, Ellwood City, Moon Township, Robinson Township, Edgeworth, West Allegheny and Calcutta, Ohio. The new facility is located at 79 Wagner Road.

While the Heritage Valley facility was the first business to open in the Bluffs at Glade Path, it won’t be the last. The development is slated to feature hundreds of apartments and condominiums, as well as a $20 million cancer center built by Allegheny Health Network.

The Allegheny Health Network facility is slated to open later this year.
