Sacred Heart Hospital, just outside Old Fairgrounds on Chew and 5th, unveiled its new extended care unit yesterday, as reported by the Morning Call:

Sacred Heart Thursday unveiled the 19-bed unit that will become a home away from home for people who need longer-term care for mental and behavioral illnesses. It partly fills a health care void that was created when Allentown State Hospital closed its doors for good last year.

Congratulations to our neighbor!
