REMINDER: Paige Cognetti is Responsible for Scranton’s Healthcare Crisis

Scranton is facing the loss of a full-service emergency room and it’s political opportunist Paige Cognetti’s fault. In 2023, Cognetti blocked a critical rezoning proposal, which prevented Geisinger Community Medical Center from expanding their emergency room. With Scranton’s hospitals facing an uncertain future, Scranton families are at risk of having to drive almost 30 minutes to access critical emergency services.

“Paige Cognetti had an opportunity to be a leader and save Scranton’s healthcare; instead, she stood on the sidelines. Now, thousands of Scranton families are facing the loss of critical emergency services. Cognetti is wrong for Scranton and wrong for the people of NEPA.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
