A Geisinger facility in Pottsville that treats cancer patients remains closed weeks after floodwater damaged the first floor.
The radiation unit of the facility has the most damage.
According to the project manager handling the repairs, more than three feet of water entered that side of the building.
A spokesperson for Geisinger said that unit may not reopen until October, but the standard cancer facility should be open in about two weeks.
Officials with Geisinger say transportation is being offered to patients in Pottsville who have had to go to facilities in Montour and Luzerne counties for treatment.
