Geisinger relocating West Hazleton ConvenientCare clinic

New location offers X-ray services, more space for care

WEST HAZLETON, Pa. - Geisinger is relocating its West Hazleton-area ConvenientCare walk-in clinic in a move that will offer more space for services and triple the number of exam rooms, helping to make health care easier.

Geisinger ConvenientCare West Hazleton will relocate just a couple doors down from its current location in the West Hazleton Plaza. The new 18 Diana Lane location is adjacent to the Geisinger 65 Forward Health Center. The larger space will feature six exam rooms and offer X-ray imaging services, which weren't available at the previous site.

Geisinger ConvenientCare West Hazleton is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and weekends 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Staffed by advanced practitioners, the walk-in clinic provides care for anyone age 1 and older. ConvenientCare clinics are the best place to go for minor health issues that can be resolved in a single visit. These include cold and flu symptoms, allergies, earaches, tick removal, sprains and minor cuts.

You can visit geisinger.org/urgent to check wait times at ConvenientCare locations and use the online check-in to hold your place in line to be seen.

To stay at a safe distance from others and to minimize time in the clinic's reception area, you're encouraged to use the online check-in feature and bring one visitor only if medically necessary. Masks are required for everyone at Geisinger facilities, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status.
