Local Expertise
Where Yatesville Residents Go for Care
A borough this small has no hospital of its own, so every medical trip from Yatesville heads out into the wider Wyoming Valley. The main destination is Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township, the region’s Level II trauma center with Pearsall Heart Hospital and Henry Cancer Center.
Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton is within reach to the north for residents whose specialists are there, and clinics, dialysis centers, and doctors’ offices in nearby Pittston are only minutes away. We handle both the short local trip and the longer run down the valley with door-through-door care.

A Small Community That Looks After Its Own
In a borough the size of Yatesville, neighbors notice who needs help, but they cannot always cover standing dialysis rides or long treatment days. We provide dependable professional care.

Yatesville may be small, but residents still need reliable access to hospitals, clinics, dialysis, therapy, and discharge transportation throughout the region.
Our Coverage Area
Serving Yatesville and the Greater Pittston Area

Medical Assistance Transportation in Luzerne County
Yatesville is part of Luzerne County, so its Medical Assistance Transportation Program runs through LCTA Shared Ride, the Luzerne County Transportation Authority. LCTA provides free shared rides to covered appointments for Medical Assistance recipients, but it is curb-to-curb, drivers cannot help a passenger inside the home or take a wheelchair up or down multiple steps, and out-of-county trips must be booked two weeks ahead. Our private-pay service provides door-through-door help, a dedicated vehicle, and precise arrival support when shared-ride is not enough.

Common Questions
Questions Yatesville Riders Ask
Getting to Geisinger Wyoming Valley from Yatesville
For most Yatesville residents, the main hospital trip runs down the valley to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township. We confirm the correct East, West, emergency, Pearsall Heart Hospital, or Henry Cancer Center entrance before the ride.
Rides for a borough with no transit of its own
Yatesville is too small to have its own local transit, leaving residents who no longer drive with few ways to reach care. We fill that gap with door-to-door service from the home itself.
Help that LCTA shared-ride does not provide
LCTA covers many Yatesville trips, but curb-to-curb service means the driver cannot help a passenger from inside the home or down the front steps, and shared scheduling does not guarantee a set arrival time.
Standing trips for dialysis and ongoing treatment
For Yatesville patients traveling several times a week to dialysis or the Henry Cancer Center, we set a fixed weekly schedule built around the clinic’s timing, so rides are reserved without rebooking each time.
Can a family member or caregiver ride along?
Yes. A caregiver or family member is always welcome to ride along at no extra charge.
Do you provide wheelchair, stretcher, and ambulatory rides?
Yes. We provide wheelchair-accessible, stretcher-equipped, and assisted ambulatory rides throughout Yatesville, Greater Pittston, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and the Wyoming Valley.
