In 1897, a partnership of 15 women in Scranton, Pennsylvania, planted the seed for a new hospital dedicated to the people of their community. That seed has grown into Community Medical Center Healthcare System the leading provider of high-quality healthcare services in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Although faces have changed with the decades, our roots have grown deep and sure. Today, more than 1,500 professionals and support staff continue the legacy of those 15 visionaries.
