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.
