Construction has begun for a major expansion to a Patton Township equine hospital that will create the region’s only full-service equine surgical facility.
“I’ve been working on since 2016 and I really do feel like I finally found the right group of people, the right township, the right piece of land,” Dr. Catherine Radtke, owner of Abington Equine Hospital, said during a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday morning. “It’s going to come together and I think it’s going to be great.”
Radtke was joined by state Sen. Jake Corman, R-Benner Township, and state Rep. Rich Irvin, R-Spruce Creek Township, who helped facilitate a $370,000 state grant from the Keystone Communities Program for the $2.4 million project.
