Charles
Cole Memorial Hospital is recognized nationally for its innovative
system of satellite health centers. The philosophy is
simple…provide the residents of the communities with the
health care services they need in their communities. Patients
should not have to travel long distances to have access to
care.
Since the first satellite clinic opened in Galeton in the early 1970s, the network has grown to include eight sites in communities surrounding the hospital in Coudersport. Each is staffed with a Primary Care Physician and most have Physician Assistants or Certified Nurse Practitioners. Many have the services of specialists on a rotating basis.
In
addition to the services offered in our satellite health centers,
there are also physicians associated with Charles Cole Memorial
Hospital who practice in local communities. The Irwin Medical Arts
Center, which adjoins the Hospital on Route 6, east of
Coudersport, offers office space for primary care physicians as
well as specialists who practice at Charles Cole
Memorial
Hospital. Physician offices are also located in the Irwin
Rehabilitation Center and in the Women & Family Health
Center.
Charles Cole Memorial Hospital's Health Centers provide patients
in the four county area with quality primary healthcare right in
their own communities.
It's good to know that
healthcare is available without having to arrange for
transportation to the Hospital.
