The hospital on North River Street in W-B is actually the area's first and has always been known as W-B General Hospital. Nearby is Geisinger Hospital, the area's newest, and in South W-B is Mercy Hospital which recently affiliated with Geisinger. Nesbitt Memorial Hospital is on Wyoming Ave. across the river in Kingston, and I believe it is now affiliated with W-B General Hosp.
