The VA office in Wellsboro is a clinic not a hospital. Most out patient services are available there.

Wellsboro for a small town has a remarkable variety of stores, restaurants and cultural venues. The OP wouldn't need to travel out of town for most items or services. Below is a link to a locally owned department store- one of a very few operating in the USA.

Wellsboro does look nice and I like how they have a locally owned department store. I'm just wondering if it would be too small and if the clinic care would be good enough for OP.

I need to be semi close to a VA. Got health issues and especially need emergency room access as well.
Yeah Wellsboro Pennsylvania only has 3000 people. That would be a lonely life for me as I have lived in really small towns and if you’re single it was brutal. Lived in Littleton NH once. Loved the town and the mountains. But being single there was rough. Real rough. Not the nicest people either.

The VA will pay for emergency room visits and hospital charges if admitted. The VA refused to pay at one time but a court ruling found that the VA is liable.

Don't talk to me about Littleton. I've been there once and never again. I had a reservation for a single at the Thayers Inn in Littleton. It turned out that the room was no bigger than a closet and located in a garret in the attic. The innkeeper said that was all that they had. I told him to shove the room where the sun doesn't shine and he invited me to leave.
You won't find this attitude in Wellsboro. Believe me, the people are friendly. People walking on the street will say hello to you. Sit at a bar and someone will strike up a conversation with you.
Your handle is "folkguitarist." Wellsboro has the "Endless Mountain Music Festival" and the Deane Center for Performing Arts plus there's Mansfield University next door. You won't be starved for culture.
Once you get used to small town living, you'll wonder why you ever lived in a city.

It always struck me odd that such a lively, gorgeous city of 5000, nested in the beautiful white mountains, could have that new englandesque, kind of cold demeanor. Especially customer service at the delis, the pizza places, the supermarkets, I sensed it like a bloodhound senses tracks. It was startling to me. Cause Littleton is a gorgeous town. Seemed like folks was kind of angry up there to. But to be fair, As much as I would love New England, I have experienced a taste of that even in Vermont. Oh well. I am glad that I am extremely warm soul who will strike up a conversation, and a genuine one, with any strangers I come across, if so be.
Now I will tell you I went to school in West Virginia for a little while and you want to talk about fabulously warm friendly souls, West Virginia’s number one in America. Now the college I was at was a little snooty. As it was a pricey Jesuit college. But beyond that, People waving to me in downtown Wheeling even when they were driving in their cars going through downtown. I’ll never forget I was in a small town somewhere in West Virginia when I was driving one day, I forget where, but it was at a McDonald’s and I was having my lunch and a group of school kids probably about 20 of them with a teacher or two came off a yellow bus and they all came in a McDonald’s and almost everyone of those children said hello to me as they strutted on by. It was like they was as warm hearted and as polite as little angels. Never experienced nothing like that in my lifetime. Beautiful souls there. I also had lots and invites over the holidays by friends there. I had a buddy named Jamie and he invited me over for Thanksgiving dinner at his family’s house. I went there and it was him and his two little siblings and his mom and me. Their dad was a motorcycle cop and had died in an accident a year before. I was amazed even in light of that, they had me over to share dinner with them. I believe I could see some of the pain on the mothers face. Some of the warmest souls I ever met in my life were in West Virginia.
Now being a NY’er, I’ve had my “your a yankee” encounters. Mostly in TN, and VA, and FL. I’m a very warm guy, who likes the south just as much as anywhere. But that’s life. Now let’s be honest and say And a lot of places around America that I have lived anyone who had the accent and originally hailed from New York City was not the most loved. Especially in Seattle. Seattle was the most intolerant city I’ve ever lived in, although it was a beautiful place and a beautiful part of the country. If you were a guy who was slightly conservative, you were as good as dead. You did not exist to those people. And that includes being a centrist or an independent or a libertarian. Not acceptable, period. Especially, and I mean especially in the dating realm amongst the single Female populace of Seattle. That’s when u had no choice but to get a dog or a turtle or a cat

and given the public transportation aspect mentioned, the bigger Upstate areas or perhaps other smaller cities like Batavia and Canandaigua with facilities like the one in Bath are worth looking into.
In terms of the highlighted community, it would be another very good choice…
Well, it’s NY, so expensive COL right off the bat. Then, there’s the weather. 4 months out of the year are not fun for someone going into their golden years. Our minds might think we’re still 30 years old but our bodies strongly disagree, so there will be added expense for snow removal because you get to a point where you just can’t do it anymore, even if you want to.
Maybe, as a renter or if you end up in a development snow removal may be taken care of, but you will be paying for it in some way.
I don’t know too much about that area but my cousins moved to Elmira probably 50 or 60 years ago from Queens, settled in and never left. It’s multi generational at this point.
I’m sure someone will chime in with more specific and detailed info.
Expensive right off the bat? He's talking about Corning and Elmira....lol. Dirt cheap.
I could probably sell my house here in FL today and purchase a house in Corning or Elmira outright.

Yea that’s funny. It’s why I got out of Littleton. Lovely town. But unfriendly as all heck. And terrible as a single transplant. Sometimes it truly amazes me how stuck up and unfriendly so many Americans are in various places and towns and etc.
Littleton was a real shocker.
