About
The Wright Center for Community Health is a Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike that operates eight primary care practices in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wyoming, and Wayne counties. The Wright Center provides safety-net, comprehensive primary and preventive health services that cover the lifespan from pediatrics to geriatrics – including medical, dental, behavioral health, addiction and recovery, and infectious disease services – to the community, with a special emphasis on medically underserved populations in rural and urban communities. No patient is turned away for a lack of health insurance or an inability to pay.
The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education trains more than 200 residents and fellows annually through a unique Graduate Medical Education and Safety-Net Consortium and is the nation’s largest Health Resources and Services Administration-funded Teaching Health Center for graduate medical education.
The Wright Center is a nonprofit, community-based graduate medical education consortium and safety-net provider of primary care. We have been serving Northeast Pennsylvania for more than 40 years.
