Company History
Dr. Donald Guthrie Guthrie Medical Group
Guthrie Medical Group is a multispecialty group practice that was founded in 1910 by Dr. Donald Guthrie. Within a year of his arrival, Dr. Guthrie expanded services at Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital as he recruited physician specialists to join Guthrie, which he intended to model after the Mayo Clinic where he had just completed his residency.
Learning and Education
Academics are a distinguishing characteristic of the Guthrie organization, which date back to 1901 when the School of Nursing was founded. The Donald Guthrie Research Foundation started in 1942 and with funds from the Emily Guthrie Estate the Guthrie Research Institute was formed in 1980. Guthrie's commitment to learning and education includes the Internal Medicine Residency program in 1958, General Surgery Residency program in 1959, Family Practice Residency program in 1993, Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship program in 2009, Pulmonary Disease and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship program in 2018, Gastroenterology Fellowship program in 2018, Emergency Medicine Residency program in 2019, and the Anesthesiology Residency program in 2019.
Regional Offices
Guthrie has grown in size and capability in the last century, and now serves as a major regional referral center where more than 1,600 physicians send their patients. In 1977, Guthrie opened its first regional office in Troy, Pa. Today Guthrie has 32 regional offices located throughout the region to provide primary care and outreach specialty care and testing to its patients close to where they live.
Six Hospitals
In addition to its longstanding relationship with Robert Packer Hospital, Guthrie acquired Troy Community Hospital in 1985, Corning Hospital in 1999, Towanda Memorial Hospital in 2015, Cortland Medical Center in 2019, and Our Lady of Lourdes in 2024.
