The Wright Center for Community Health

The opioid epidemic continues to devastate communities across Pennsylvania. That's why The Wright Center for Community Health is partnering with the Wayne County Drug and Alcohol Commission to increase access to life-saving, overdose-reversing naloxone. Anyone can visit The Wright Center's Hawley location or the Wayne County Drug and Alcohol Commission office to receive free naloxone kits and drug-checking strips. No ID or appointment is required. We're committed to equipping our region with the tools and resources to prevent overdose deaths and connect people to treatment. Together, we can save lives.

In celebration of Earth Day, Wright Center employees got to work cleaning up our communities. We collected and disposed of more than 60 bags of trash during cleanups held around our health care centers in Clarks Summit, Mid Valley, Scranton, North Scranton, and Wilkes-Barre.

Thank you Bombas for your incredible donation of 10,000 pairs of socks! 🧦❤️ Bombas' donation will be distributed to the men, women, children, and veterans we support through our programs and services. The socks will pair perfectly with the other clothing essentials we provide – including coats, hats, and gloves – to help people stay protected from the elements. And while a comfy pair of socks is something most of us take for granted, it’s a luxury for someone experiencing homelessness. We are so grateful for partners like Bombas who help amplify our impact and support our mission to improve the health and welfare of the most vulnerable in our community.
