Community organizations in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties have contributed 'millions of dollars' in recent months to help keep Community Health Systems’ struggling Scranton hospitals afloat as officials work to find a buyer.

State Rep. Bridget Kosierowski is confident that Regional and Moses Taylor Hospitals in Scranton will remain open and said there are several leads for potential buyers.

With the six-term Democratic congressman out of the race, potential challengers to Republican U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan for the 8th Congressional District seat have begun to emerge. The district includes all of Lackawanna, Wayne and Pike counties, roughly Luzerne County's eastern half and most of Monroe County.

At downtown Scranton town hall, state Rep. Bridget Kosierowski and Rep. Kyle Mullins try to reassure nervous workers at Regional Hospital of Scranton and Moses Taylor Hospital.

Rep. Bridget Kosierowski organized town hall about future of Medicaid and Medicare during President Trump's second term.

SEIU will join local legislators and advocates to update the community on the future of Regional Hospital after the failed CHS deal.

Community Health Systems' deal to sell three NEPA hospitals to a nonprofit group recently fell through. Local leaders are working hard to ensure CHS does not close the facilities.
