Gov. Josh Shapiro thanked first responders at the Dickson City Fire Department for their work last week during the fire at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Dickson City and highlighted investments proposed in his annual budget to support the state’s fire departments.

State health officials will be working with Lehigh Valley Hospital-Dickson City management on getting the fire-damaged facility ready to reopen but so far no date has been announced for that to happen.

Lehigh Valley Hospital-Dickson City remained closed Thursday. Jefferson Health, which owns the 4-year-old hospital, is assessing the damage.
