History

Guthrie's beginnings can be traced to the arrival of the Lehigh Valley Railroad in Sayre. By 1880, Sayre had the third-largest rail shop in America, encompassing 70 acres and employing 5,000 men. Injuries were common, and in 1885, Robert Packer Hospital was founded. The original hospital was located in the mansion of Robert Packer, the director of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, who died in 1883. Guthrie Clinic was founded in 1910 by Dr. Donald Guthrie, whose vision was to create a multi-specialty group practice to serve the Bradford County region.
