Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè ogmante aksè a sèvis sante prensipal pou tout moun nan louvri sant sante nan vil Dickson.
The Wright Center for Community Health will open a new health center in Dickson City on Tuesday, Sept. 3, as part of its efforts to expand access to whole-person primary health services across the region.
Drs. Supriana Bhandol and Ajit Pannu will lead the new location at 312 Boulevard Ave., Dickson City. Both are 2023 graduates of The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education’s Regional Family Medicine Residency and currently treat patients at The Wright Center’s Teaching Health Center in Scranton.
The Wright Center for Community Health has provided safety-net primary and preventive care services across the region for decades. The Dickson City location will be open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and offer whole-person primary health services for people of all ages, from pediatrics to geriatrics. In addition to primary care services, including checkups, physicals, screenings, and treatment of common illnesses and injuries, the new community health center will offer community-based addiction treatment and recovery services, including medication-assisted treatment. To make an appointment, call 570-489-4567 or visit TheWrightCenter.org.
The location is the former medical offices of Drs. Cynthia M. Oleski and Giovanni Ramos. After deciding to relocate, the doctors contacted The Wright Center about stepping in so patients would not experience care interruptions.
“Opening an office in Dickson City is another example of how we are fulfilling our mission,” said Marianne Linko, deputy chief operating officer at The Wright Center. “It’s also a great opportunity for two of our Regional Family Medicine Residency graduates to take on a larger role as physicians in the community.”
The Dickson City location is one of two new health centers The Wright Center will launch in September. On Monday, Sept. 9, The Wright Center’s first health center in Wyoming County will open at the former Tyler Memorial Hospital, 5950 U.S. Route 6, Suite 401, Tunkhannock. The location will be open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and offer a full slate of primary care services as well as addiction treatment and recovery services, including medication-assisted treatment.

Sant Wright la.
Avèk nouvo lokal sa yo, Wright Center gen 12 sant sante kominotè, ki gen ladan yon inite medikal ak dantè mobil ki rele Driving Better Health, k ap sèvi pasyan tout laj, nivo revni, ak sitiyasyon asirans nan Nòdès Pennsylvania. Wright Center te trete plis pase 35,400 pasyan inik nan ane fiskal 2023-24.
Sant Wright la se yon Sant Sante Kalifye Federalman ki sanble ak yon rezo sant sante kominotè k ap grandi nan tout konte Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne ak Wyoming. Plis pase 31.5 milyon moun atravè nasyon an resevwa bon jan kalite swen sante abòdab chak ane nan sant sante kominotè tankou The Wright Center, dapre National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC).
Inisyativ sant sante kominotè a, ki te fonde pa lidè Mouvman Dwa Sivil Etazini an nan ane 1960 yo, te anvizaje kòm yon fason pou bay swen nan zòn ki pa gen desèvi tankou katye iben ki gen revni fèb ak anviwònman riral yo. Pwomotè yo te wè li kòm yon mwayen pou amelyore sante moun yo pandan y ap bay kominote yo pouvwa epi redwi povrete, paske sant sante yo ofri aksè a sèvis ki pa koute chè oswa ki pa koute yo ansanm ak opòtinite travay pou soutni fanmi yo. Jodi a, gen plis pase 1,400 sant sante kominotè ak òganizasyon ki sanble nan peyi Etazini, dapre NACHC.
