Community Health Systems is in the middle section of a $100 million-plus capital investment push at a number of its Pennsylvania hospitals. Some of the spending stems from a 2004 commitment, but good old demographic growth is playing its part, too.

The number of people living in communities around the hospital is expected to jump by 11 percent over the next two years, Davis said. The hospital has already experienced a 32 percent increase in admissions and a 16 percent increase in emergency room visits during the past seven years.
