Laurel Health opened its very first clinic in Blossburg back in 1973, and during this year's Blossburg V.I.B.E. Fall Festival, Laurel Health was recognized by local, county, and state officials for our decades of serving the local community. To celebrate, our Blossburg Laurel Health Center staff, leadership, and board members came together to provide a fun day of giveaways and health outreach.
Commendations were awarded by Senator Gene Yaw’s office and Representative Clint Owlett’s office during the Blossburg V.I.B.E. Fall Festival, chosen for Laurel Health’s community celebration because Blossburg, PA is where we were founded.

Nobles, Laurel Health President & CEO, and Representative Clint Owlett.
To celebrate 50 years of healthcare, Laurel Health staff, leadership, and Lboard members came together for a fun day of giveaways and health outreach. Festivities included free health screenings, community flu shots, special anniversary giveaways, and a provider meet-and-greet with Tina Doud-Kearns, CRNP at the Blossburg Laurel Health Center, located at 6 Riverside Plaza in Blossburg, PA.
Laurel Health has always been committed to assuring patients have access to great care close to home. Our primary care centers were strategically placed throughout Tioga County to assure no one had to drive more than 30 minutes for family medicine services.

A lot has changed over the last 50 years, but one thing that has not is Laurel Health's steadfast commitment to patients. Our team provides expert, personalized care with a small-town warmth and takes care to build trusted, life-long relationships with our patients and community.
Over the the past five decades, Laurel Health has gradually expanded services and locations to provide convenient, wide-ranging care to even more patients in the twin tiers region with sites throughout Tioga and Bradford Counties, including primary care, dental care, mental health, walk-in care, pediatrics, nutrition & diabetes education, and specialty care like chiropractic and sports medicine services to serve the northcentral Pennsylvania and lower New York region.
“We were founded with a deep passion for serving our communities by local citizens who wanted to make sure comprehensive healthcare stayed available close to home," shares James A. Nobles, Laurel Health President and CEO.
“Laurel Health has continued to flourish by placing patients first, employing excellent staff, addressing community needs, and guiding our mission, vision, and values with an open and committed heart,” Nobles continues.
"We chose the Blossburg festival for our 50th anniversary celebration to give back to and pay tribute to the community that built us up.”
“We are very grateful to our community for their trust and support over the last 50 years. Together, we remain focused on delivering excellent care to everyone, nurturing community wellness, and building healthier tomorrows.”
