Local Expertise
Where Hughestown Residents Go for Care
Although Hughestown sits right beside Pittston, its hospital trips run 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, while clinics, dialysis centers, and specialist offices in Pittston and neighboring boroughs sit just minutes from home. We handle both the short local run and the longer trip down the valley with door-through-door care.

A Small Borough in the City’s Shadow
Hughestown is close to Pittston, but closeness alone does not help a resident who cannot drive, uses a wheelchair, or needs assistance from the door.
Short Trips Still Need Care
Even a short ride into Pittston matters when the passenger is frail, recovering, or using a wheelchair. We provide the same careful assistance on short trips as on longer hospital rides.
Our Coverage Area
Serving Hughestown and the Greater Pittston Area
We serve Hughestown and the closely packed communities around it in the Greater Pittston area, along with trips south toward Wilkes-Barre and north toward Scranton. Knowing how Hughestown’s streets connect to its neighbors keeps local rides and longer medical trips quick and reliable.
Hughestown Area Service Communities
Medical Assistance Transportation in Luzerne County
Hughestown 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 Hughestown Riders Ask
Getting to Geisinger Wyoming Valley from Hughestown
For most Hughestown 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.
Short local trips to Pittston-area clinics
Because Hughestown sits right against Pittston, many everyday medical trips are short ones to nearby clinics, dialysis centers, and doctors’ offices. We handle these short runs with the same door-through-door care as longer rides.
Help that LCTA shared-ride does not provide
LCTA covers many Hughestown 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 Hughestown 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 Hughestown, Greater Pittston, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and the Wyoming Valley.
