Served by two of the state’s largest health care providers, Clinton County residents have access to excellent facilities. Both UPMC Lock Haven and Geisinger Health System now provide access to a wide range of services and specialists within their networks.
UPMC Lock Haven is a 25-bed facility providing emergency, medical, and surgical services. The hospital’s 90-bed Haven Place Senior Community offers rehabilitation and long-term care services. Graham Meadows Memory Care Community is a 34-bed facility specially designed and staffed to care for dementia and Alzheimer’s patients. UPMC Susquehanna operates two other facilities in Clinton County, the UPMC Outpatient Center in McElhattan, and the Medical Plaza in Lock Haven.
Founded over 100 years ago, Geisinger Health System has grown to become one of the largest rural health care organizations in the country, caring for more than 3 million Pennsylvanians across 45 counties. Located just thirteen miles from Lock Haven on the Clinton/Lycoming County line, Geisinger Jersey Shore Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission. The 25-bed Critical Access Hospital provides a wide range of inpatient, outpatient and sub-acute health care services, including an urgent care center. Geisinger also operates Geisinger Community Medicine Tiadaghton in Lock Haven and Geisinger Community Medicine Avis. Geisinger Jersey Shore also staffs Urgent Care at McElhattan, offering walk-in service for non-emergency medical needs, with evening and weekend hours.
Construction is well underway on a new Geisinger Medical Center in Lock Haven. The two-story facility will offer walk-in urgent care, imaging and lab services, pharmacy, adult and pediatric primary care offices, in addition to physical and occupational therapy, a specialty clinic with dermatology, cardiology, gastroenterology, surgery and women’s health services.
Clinton County residents are served by numerous physician offices and medical service providers, including the county-operated Susque-View Home Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Lock Haven and the rural Bucktail Medical Center and Nursing Home serving western Clinton County. Located in communities spread throughout the county, they offer choices in primary care and specialized treatment, as well as hearing, vision, chiropractic, pharmacy, and home nursing services.
