Bresnahan, Jr. | B001327 | bresnahan.house.gov | bresnahan | https://bresnahan.house.gov/media | scraper | LUZERNE COUNTY, PA: Tonight, U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan, Jr. (PA-08) released the below statement following Luzerne County Council’s approval for Tenor Health to borrow tax-exempt funds to purchase Wilkes-Barre General Hospital from Community Health Systems Inc. (CHS). This is another important step toward Tenor’s acquisition of CHS’ three Pennsylvania hospitals, which include Regional Hospital and Moses Taylor Hospital in Scranton in addition to Wilkes-Barre General. “This is another encouraging step toward bringing real stability back to healthcare in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties,” said Rep. Bresnahan. “Wilkes-Barre General, Moses Taylor, and Regional Hospital are cornerstones of our community, and the people who work and seek care there deserve a system that puts the patients and staff first. I appreciate the Luzerne County Council’s hard work to move this process forward, and I’ll keep fighting to make sure this transition strengthens care, protects local jobs, and delivers the quality health services our families rely on every day.” “Tonight’s vote is an important step in our effort to ensure patients receive the dependable, community-centered care they count on,” said Radha Savitala, CEO of Tenor Health. “We are grateful to Rep. Bresnahan and the Luzerne County Council for their collaboration and continued involvement in maintaining quality healthcare access for Northeastern Pennsylvania. We look forward to continuing to work with Rep. Bresnahan, the Luzerne County Council, and local leaders and stakeholders as move toward a stronger future for these hospitals." The agreement will help foster a continued partnership between Tenor Health and Northeastern Pennsylvania. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |
