WRIGHT TOWNSHIP -- Call it a battle for better health. A new medical center recently opened in Mountain Top, and now there are three medical centers within about a mile of each other on South Mountain Boulevard.

The latest is the Mountain Top Health Center, operated by the Lehigh Valley Health Network. Among its many amenities, it offers a rehab center.

Janet Herbener of White Haven used to travel to Drums.

"It saves me a trip, and not only that, they have all these machines here for me to use and I love my therapist. She is just so patient,” she said.

The facility also offers more than a dozen exam rooms and even telemedicine, so patients can talk to doctors who might not be in the area.

But the center also has some healthy competition. Geisinger opened its own medical facility on South Mountain Boulevard just last October.

“We have cardiology starting next week. We have sports medicine. We have pediatrics who also have specialists in their department,” said Dr. Ken Tomczyk of Geisinger.

Wilkes-Barre General Hospital also has its Mountain Top campus on the same road that’s been there for several years.
