Penn State Health is closing its Downtown Reading (Pa.) campus and transitioning most of its services to other Penn State Health locations, according to a Nov. 11 statement shared with Becker’s.
Most of the services currently offered at the Reading campus will continue at Penn State Health, keeping patients connected to their providers and care teams. This includes the Family Medicine Residency Program, which will transition services primarily to the system’s Exeter and Muhlenberg locations in Pennsylvania.
However, dental services at the Reading campus will end Dec. 31 and not relocate. Penn State Health will help patients currently receiving dental treatment to obtain records, complete their care and transition to another provider.
“Penn State Health’s commitment to serving Reading residents remains unchanged,” the statement said. “The Downtown Reading facility has experienced infrastructure and facility-related challenges during the past year. Those factors required us to undertake an evaluation of how Penn State Health’s Berks County locations can best support the healthcare needs of this community.”
