Bucktail Medical Center

Bucktail Medical Center sits at 1001 Pine St, Renovo, PA, and, while a hospital and diagnostic imaging center, it also holds forty-three skilled nursing beds and twenty-one critical access hospital or swing beds, placing the full capacity right at sixty-four beds, and that means it's not a large facility, but it does serve many needs for the community. The staff speaks English, and among them you'll find a Certified Physician's Assistant and a Board Certified Family Practice Physician leading care. There's a full-service Emergency Department, so if something happens, people can get help right away, and they do have EMS and ambulance services for emergencies. Many medical specialties are offered here, including Allergy & Immunology, Sleep Medicine, Family Medicine, and Endocrinology. Folks at Bucktail Medical Center can use physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy because of the facility's rehabilitation program, and if someone needs lab work, over 80% of all the tests are drawn on-site, keeping things simple and on location, and radiology is also handled through their imaging department, which can be a relief for those who don't want to travel elsewhere for scans or x-rays. There's a community clinic that allows walk-ins, so people can come without an appointment, but right now they're not accepting new patients at this location, and there are some limits based on where people live. The dietary staff cooks home-style meals for people staying at the center, and even cooks for the community in Renovo, which is a nice touch for a small town. Bucktail Medical Center is recognized within the Castle Connolly network for healthcare excellence, and there's a Medical Advisory Board checking up on the standards of medical practice to make sure care stays good. The center is involved in research to find and select top doctors and top hospitals, and doctors have some access to a Provider Portal, promotional opportunities, and informational resources like magazines or FAQs about healthcare quality, though those aspects are mainly for the medical staff. They're careful about letting people in, so you'll see some verification processes and regional restrictions in place. If someone needs basic medical help, therapy, emergency care, or regular nursing, Bucktail Medical Center offers those, and although there's not a long list of luxury amenities described, the basics for care and recovery do seem well covered.
