ORWIGSBURG — A medical office building on the campus of Geisinger St. Luke’s Hospital is open to the public.
Located at 1165 Centre Turnpike outside the borough, the 37,216-square-foot, three-story building opened Monday, hospital officials announced in a news release.
They said in the release it offers “additional space to continue providing care closer to home for residents of Schuylkill and Berks counties.”
The office offers specialty services in imaging and walk-in X-ray services; spine and pain care; sports medicine and orthopedics services on the first floor. The second floor houses cardiology, gynecology, and pulmonary and critical care services. They are offered by doctors and advanced practitioners employed by Geisinger St. Luke’s Hospital.
X-ray services are available, according to the release, with additional imaging services beginning early next month.
The office also includes a state-of-the-art 3D mammography system. Housed inside a SensorySuite to ease anxiety, it allows women to adjust compression during their mammogram, providing more control and offering a more comfortable experience, according to officials.
“As more of our neighbors choose Geisinger St. Luke’s for their care, we’re continuing to invest in technology and services to advance care and better our community’s health,” Geisinger St. Luke’s Hospital President Gabe Kamarousky said in a news release. “The specialty services inside the medical office building are going to make it easier for our patients to manage health care closer to home.”
Geisinger spokesman Marc Stempka said officials are hoping to do a formal opening of the new building in the future.
Appointments are now available for all services in the medical office building. For more information, call 272-639-5130 or visit geisingerstlukes.org.
