The Laurel Health Difference

Guided by our mission, vision, and values, we offer healthcare that's patient-centric and holistic by focusing on quality care, affordability, continued innovation, and a welcoming environment for all. 

Federally Qualified Health Centers

The Laurel Health Centers are Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) facilities, which means we make it our mission to provide affordable, high-quality healthcare to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. The Laurel Health Centers are national HRSA quality award winners for increasing access to care and reducing healthcare disparities in our community.

Committed to Quality Care

Laurel Health has received Patient Centered Medical Home Recognition (PCMH) from both HRSA and the National Committee for Quality Assurance. PCMH standards help us build better relationships with patients, strengthen our quality measures, implement wellness initiatives, and deliver a consistently great patient experience.

We use evidence-based best practices to provide consistent, high-quality, patient-centered care that encourages and empowers people to play a more active role in their health and wellness.

Our doctors, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, counselors, and office staff work together as a strong, experienced, and unified healthcare team dedicated to providing a great patient experience and expert care every time. 

Affordable Healthcare

Great medical care should be available to everyone, regardless of where they live, their insurance, or their ability to pay. At Laurel Health, we work hard to make healthcare as affordable as possible to patients of all ages and backgrounds.

We accept Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and most major insurances like Highmark, Blue Cross, Geisinger, UPMC, AmeriHealth, Humana, and United Healthcare. Laurel Health also provides several community outreach programs and discounted services to ensure everyone can access the high-quality medical services they deserve:

• Pharmacy discount program: Qualifying patients can use their pharmacy discount card at participating pharmacies to purchase prescribed medications at a discounted rate. 
• Free Enrollment Assistance: Our certified application counselors help community members enroll in healthcare coverage and apply for financial assistance programs, including Pennsylvania Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Programs (CHIP), Laurel Health's sliding fee program, and the pharmacy discount program.
• Community outreach: We connect with people of all ages at local events to provide free health and wellness screenings, healthcare education, resources, supplies, and support.
