Serving the Altoona and Central PA Community
Our Plank Road office in Altoona serves as the hub for our Central Pennsylvania care teams. This location provides accessible care to communities across a broad region, including the cities of Altoona, Johnstown, and State College, as well as rural communities throughout Blair County and the surrounding area.
We understand that families in Central Pennsylvania often face unique challenges when accessing healthcare, including greater distances between communities and medical facilities. Our local care teams are equipped to serve patients in rural settings, bringing the same expert-level hospice and palliative care directly to homes throughout the region.

Local Hospital Coordination
Our Altoona-based care coordinators work closely with area healthcare facilities, including UPMC Altoona, to facilitate seamless transitions from hospital to hospice or palliative care. We maintain strong relationships with physicians, discharge planners, and social workers at hospitals and medical centers throughout Central Pennsylvania to ensure continuity of care for every patient.
Rural Care Capabilities
Blair County and the surrounding region include many rural communities where access to specialized healthcare can be limited. Pinnacle's Altoona team is experienced in providing expert-level hospice and palliative care in rural settings. Our staff live in the communities they serve, enabling faster response times and a deeper understanding of local needs.
Our rural care capabilities include:
- In-home care delivery regardless of distance from our office
- 24/7 on-call nursing support
- Coordination with local pharmacies for timely medication delivery
- Medical equipment delivery and setup in rural homes
- Connection with local community and faith-based support resources
Why Choose a Local Altoona Hospice Provider?
Pinnacle's Altoona team is not a branch of a national chain. We are locally owned and operated, with staff who are part of the Blair County community. This local focus means we understand the specific needs of families in this region and can provide personalized, responsive care that larger organizations cannot match.
