TMG Health Breaks Ground at Valley View Business Park

TMG Health, the leading national provider of expert solutions to government-sponsored health plans, broke ground on its future National Operations Center in the Valley View Business Park. Located in lots 25 and 26 of the park, the facility will be a three-story, 150,000 square foot building with the opportunity to expand to 210,000 square feet, housing up to 1,500 local employees. Construction is expected to be complete in the third quarter of 2012 by Verus Partners.

“The growth of TMG Health allows our company to continue its economic commitment to Northeastern, PA by offering quality job opportunities to the local community,” said Jack Tighe, President and Founder of TMG Health. “The construction of our new National Operations Center is a tribute to our dedicated employees, especially our Northeastern Pennsylvania employees, who have contributed to both the success and growth of our company.”

The ground-breaking ceremony hosted representatives from the Scranton Lackawanna Industrial Building Company (SLIBCO), Lackawanna Industrial Fund Enterprises (LIFE), and Jessup Borough.

“SLIBCO and TMG Health have a history.  We have worked with Jack Tighe, assisting in their location within the Scranton Enterprise Center and now their expansion into Valley

View Business Park,” commented Austin Burke, executive vice president, SLIBCO. “TMG is a true American success story and we are thrilled to have played a role in their growth as one of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s principal employers.”

TMG Health serves health plans across the nation in the Medicare Advantage, Part D and Managed Medicaid Markets. Headquartered in King of Prussia, PA, the Company currently has locations in Dunmore; Scranton; and Amarillo, Texas.

“TMG is committed to increasing employment in this area through the use of this great new facility, notes Jim Kadela, Chairperson of TMG Health Board of Directors.  “The success of both TMG and its parent company HCSC is built through strong relationships within the local communities that we operate.  We thank all of you for making this new facility possible, and we look forward to continuing to serve the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania together.”
