Geisinger Holy Spirit is a 307-bed non-profit Catholic community hospital located in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and serves as the primary facility for its related health system.[1] The hospital was founded in 1963 and is sponsored by the Sisters of Christian Charity.[2]

In 2003, the hospital opened the Ortenzio Heart Center, a four-story, 140,000-square-foot (13,000 m2) facility located adjacent to the hospital specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of heart problems.[3]

The letter of intent serves as a necessary step to explore affiliation options. On September 1, 2017, Geisinger Holy Spirit was granted Level II Trauma Center accreditation by the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation.
