Geisinger Medical Center (GMC) is a hospital in Danville, Pennsylvania that opened in 1915 as the George F. Geisinger Memorial Hospital. It is the flagship hospital for the Danville-based Geisinger Health System, a primary chain of hospitals and clinics across northeastern and central Pennsylvania. GMC's position in a small town gives Danville one of the highest concentrations of hospital workers in the United States. According to Todd Frankel of The Washington Post, "Life in Danville has always seemed to revolve around what some locals call the 'Big G,' the hospital on the hill that employs more than 10,000 people in a borough of 4,600."Geisinger Life Flight, a helicopter medevac system, is based at the hospital.
