A cancer facility, in Pottsville, that was heavily damaged by flash flooding last summer has re-opened.
The damage at Geisinger's Radiation Oncology Clinic took nearly 10 months and $3 million to repair. Last August, floodwaters on Norwegian Street left Geisinger's local cancer center nearly gutted. In the months since, it's been transformed into a modernized, state of the art facility; with only two other models like it in Pennsylvania – one in Philadelphia and one in Pittsburgh.
A spokesperson with Geisinger said eight full-time employees are now able to return to work.
Over the past eight months, about 40 would-be patients had to travel to Danville for treatments.
