Having good doctors and hospitals is a good point. Thank you

I live in Schuylkill County and have senior parents in Schuylkill County and regularly drive them to Allentown and Bethlehem for specialists as I also have to do for myself. If your father doesn’t have any family nearby, don’t let him move here.

Many of my older relatives were born and died in Pottsville Hospital, most of them older than 85. Pottsville is affiliated with LVHC.

Bigger question is what support system will your dad have in Pottsville? 2 hours is a long drive during an emergency. Does he have family here? Friends?
