Since its inception in 2008, Wilkes-Barre’s Volunteers in Medicine clinic has gathered more than 6,000 regular patients who receive primary medical and dental care.

As many as 15 percent of all babies born in the United States are in need of the specialized care of a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). As it currently stands, Luzerne County is not home to a NICU, forcing local families to leave the area in a time of increased stress and anxiety.
