Construction has commenced of a new medical office building at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, US.

This building will make healthcare more accessible for patients in the county with more availability of specialty services on the hospital campus.

The 160,000ft2 clinic space will feature four floors besides a lower level.

This building will feature general surgery, vascular surgery, pulmonology, infectious diseases, neurology, paediatric neurology, neurosurgery, neurophysiology, otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat)/audiology, general internal medicine, nephrology and transplant outreach practices as well as laboratory and radiology services and a retail pharmacy.

The Medical Office Building is expected to cut down wait times for patients by enabling programme expansion, hiring of 20 new providers, and more appointments in these disciplines.

As the programmes mature, it is expected that the building will create around 70 jobs and cater to around 70,000 new patient visits each year.
