Currently, the Rural Health Corporation operates the Harveys Lake-Noxen Health Center at Noxen and the Black Creek Health Center in Nuremberg. Both centers provide ‘comprehensive medical, social, and transporta- tion service to rural, low- income families. In addition, the Noxen Center recently began providing dental services on a limited basis. Future centers are being considered for the Freeland area and the Shickshinny area.
