S&T Bank Donates a Half-Million Dollars to the Indiana Healthcare Foundation

INDIANA, Pa. – January 4, 2024 –  S&T Bank has pledged $500,000 to the Indiana Healthcare Foundation, to aid in the construction of a new Behavioral Health building, expected to open in the fall of 2024.

The 31,000 square-foot facility is being built to meet the health care needs in the community surrounding both behavioral and mental health. Indiana Regional Medical Center (IRMC) plans to provide care for mental illness, suicide prevention, drug addiction and dementia. IRMC will operate the 44-bed facility, treating eight adolescents, twenty-four adults and twelve geriatric patients at any one time.

S&T Bank President, Dave Antolik, explains why the Bank felt compelled to support this project, stating, “This new building will house critical mental healthcare in our community. The facility is being designed to serve a wide variety of generations, so care will be given regardless of the individual’s life stage. When we talk about making people our purpose, this type of donation puts those words directly into action. Mental health is just as important as physical health in terms of a person’s overall well-being and this building and the professionals that will provide care within its walls will be a very valuable resource in this area.”

To date, patients are often seen through the emergency room or urgent care and IRMC reports that since 2020, mental healthcare needs have drastically increased. This project will help professionals recognize concerns early on while also strengthening the existing behavioral health care system.
