November 8, 2023- Oak Street Health, a Commercial Healthcare Provider (CHP) retailer that is changing the way the U.S. receives care, is now welcoming patients at the new Scranton center at 1078 S Washington Ave in Scranton. This is the first center for Oak Street Health in Scranton and the 15th in the state of Pennsylvania coming on the heels of the Lancaster and Allentown centers that opened in September.
Oak Street Health delivers personalized, preventive primary care through a model that was created to meet the unique needs of older adults.
