Walk-in services are generally available through these hospitals' emergency rooms. There are a few specialization centers, such as Gnaden Huetten's Open Forum for mental health and Winco Medical Center in East Stroudsburg for drug and alcohol problem treatment. Individualized home healthcare can be provided through the home-health and nursing agencies in the area, most of which work in connection with the area hospitals or through physicians' offices. These services are generally recommended by doctors.
Hospitals have limited ambulance service.
Most ambulance service is provided by volunteer and privately owned ambulance corps. Volunteer ambulance services have been the backbone of the Pocono support system for a long time. All are run by the local responders who are trained EMTs. Trained First Responders are on call for each local ambulance corps. When you move into an area, check with your local hospital or municipal clerk to find out which ambulance group serves your location.
