Town hall today to discuss future of NEPA Commonwealth Health hospitals

A town hall is scheduled for today in Scranton to address the cancelled sale of Commonwealth Health hospitals in Lackawanna & Luzerne Counties. Union hospital workers represented by SEIU Healthcare PA and the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals (PASNAP), along with State Reps. Kyle Donahue, Kyle Mullins and Bridget Kosieroski, will host a town hall open to the public at 4 p.m. Monday in the Scranton Hilton at 100 Adams Ave. The town hall will focus on the state of community hospitals in the area, following the collapse of the planned sale of Commonwealth Health to Woodbridge Healthcare. Union hospital workers represented by SEIU Healthcare PA and PASNAP are calling on elected leaders to work with other collaborators to find a solution that will invest in Commonwealth Health long-term.
