Penn State Health to close Reading outpatient campus, end dental care
Penn State Health announced Nov. 11 it is closing its Downtown Reading, Pa. campus and transitioning most services to other system locations, citing infrastructure and facility-related challenges over the past year. The Family Medicine Residency Program will move primarily to the system's Exeter and Muhlenberg locations. Dental services at the Reading campus will end Dec. 31 and will not relocate; the system says it will help affected dental patients get records, complete care, and transition to another provider.
Why it mattersMedicaid-enrolled patients receiving dental or family medicine care at the Reading campus, along with state Medicaid agency and managed care plan contacts in the area, may need to help affected patients identify new in-network providers as services relocate or end.
