Coupure du ruban et journées portes ouvertes pour l'ouverture d'un nouveau centre de santé communautaire de soins primaires à Dickson City
Le Wright Center for Community Health a organisé une inauguration et une journée portes ouvertes le mardi 3 septembre pour célébrer l'ouverture de son nouveau centre de santé communautaire à Dickson City, au 312 Boulevard Ave. Ce centre offre des services de santé primaire complets du lundi au vendredi, de 8h30 à 17h, à des personnes de tous âges, de la pédiatrie à la gériatrie. Outre les membres du public, les dirigeants et les membres du conseil d'administration du Wright Center, Jack Horvath et Richard Cesari, conseillers municipaux de Dickson City, Cesare Forconi, directeur de l'arrondissement, Drew Popish, directeur régional pour le nord-est du gouverneur de Pennsylvanie Josh Shapiro, et Thom Welby, directeur de district de la représentante de l'État de Pennsylvanie Bridget Malloy Kosierowski, ont participé à l'événement.
The Wright Center for Community Health hosted a ribbon cutting and open house on Tuesday, Sept. 3, to celebrate the opening of its newest community health center in Dickson City.
The new full-service, family-friendly office at 312 Boulevard Ave. opened for patient care on Tuesday, Sept. 3, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house held at 5:30 p.m. Along with members of the public, Dickson City Borough Councilmen Jack Horvath and Richard Cesari; Borough Manager Cesare Forconi; Drew Popish, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s northeast regional director; and Thom Welby, Pennsylvania State Rep. Bridget Malloy Kosierowski’s district director, attended the event.
Drs. Supriana Bhandol and Ajit Pannu, who will lead the new location, offered health center tours during the open house. Both doctors are graduates of The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education’s Regional Family Medicine Residency and began providing care to patients at The Wright Center for Community Health in Scranton in November.
The new location occupies the former medical offices of Drs. Cynthia M. Oleski and Giovanni Ramos. After deciding to relocate, the doctors contacted The Wright Center, which has been providing whole-person primary health services across the region for decades, to ensure that patients would not experience any interruptions in care.
The Wright Center for Community Health in Dickson City will be open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering affordable, comprehensive whole-person primary health services for people of all ages, from pediatrics to geriatrics. Services will include checkups, physicals, screenings, treatment of common illnesses and injuries, and more. To make an appointment, call 570-489-4567 or visit TheWrightCenter.org.
In addition to the Dickson City location, The Wright Center will also open its first primary care community health center in Wyoming County on Monday, Sept. 9, at the former Tyler Memorial Hospital, 5950 U.S. Route 6, Suite 401, Tunkhannock. With these new locations, The Wright Center will operate 12 community health centers, including a mobile medical and dental unit called Driving Better Health, serving patients of all ages, income levels, and insurance statuses in Northeast Pennsylvania.
The Wright Center for Community Health offers a sliding-fee discount program. Based on a family’s size and income level, the program reduces barriers to care and ensures everyone has access to affordable, whole-person primary health services.
