Officials from Geisinger St. Luke’s Hospital formally opened the new health center in Pottsville last Wednesday.

The center provides non-emergency care for colds, scrapes, bumps and bruises, along with primary care, occupational medicine, physical therapy, X-rays and diagnostic laboratory services.

The 21,000-square-foot facility, at 2650 Woodglen Road, West Pottsville, north of Route 209 and just off Gordon Nagle Trail, had its first patients on Aug. 15.

The health center is in the former McCann School of Business and Technology.

“On behalf of the board, management, physicians and staff, we are honored and pleased to be able to provide Pottsville residents access to the care for which our organization is well known,” said Gabe Kamarousky, president of Geisinger St. Luke’s Campus.

Following the ribbon cutting, guided tours of the facility were offered, and refreshments were served to celebrate the occasion.
