Reply to comment by Allemaengel in Pottsville, PA - What’s it like? Senior dad looking to move by travelresearch

The old Pottsville hospital is now run by LVHN and it’s improved. Also a new hospital on 61 by orwigburg is Geisinger St. Luke’s partnership.

I know about those and you're right - that's all true.

What I meant was regarding high-quality geriatric emergency care for an elderly person being moved into a town by out-of-state relatives with no family or friends in the area. They're living alone and in the event of a major medical crisis, having to be transported to the LVH or St. Luke's in the Lehigh Valley, etc.

Pottsville Hospital does not care where he moved from. They will provide the care he needs. Lots of old people in that part of Skook.
