A tradition of caring, a commitment to excellence
For more than 100 years, our hospital has cared for families who live in the South Wilkes-Barre area.

The Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre medical staff, employees and volunteers are proud of that tradition of caring, and continue to provide exceptional service as a member of Geisinger Health System.

When you’re sick or injured, why wait for care?
At Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre, we promise you’ll be seen within 30 minutes at our Emergency Department:

  • When you arrive at the Emergency Department, you’ll sign in at the registration desk so we can mark your arrival time.
  • Within 30 minutes of your arrival, we promise that you will be seen by a healthcare professional – usually a nurse – who will assess your condition and begin treatment.
  • How long will your treatment take? That depends on your illness or injury.
  • If it takes longer than 30 minutes for your treatment to start, we will give you a free first aid kit and meal pass to our cafeteria.

GSWB partners with its medical staff and employees to provide high quality, compassionate care close to home.

More information

GSWB's reputation for excellence began with the founding of the hospital in 1898 by the Sisters of Mercy. Today, our 191-bed hospital enjoys the highest form of accreditation available to hospitals.
