Lackawanna County Launches Broadband Internet and Speed Test Lackawanna County is taking steps to ensure that all residents and businesses in the county can connect to high-speed and reliable internet.This initiative is part of the Lackawanna County Broadband Assessment Plan study, which is being conducted by the engineering firm HRG. The study is a multi-faceted project that will collect data and feedback over the course of several months to identify broadband service needs and focus future efforts on expanding internet service. A final study and report will outline the findings and proposed next steps with the long-term goal of ensuring reliable high-speed internet is available to everyone in the county. As part of this effort, Lackawanna County is pleased to announce the launch of the Broadband InternetSurvey and Speed Test, which will be administered by HRG. Participation in the survey is crucial to gain a better understanding of the user’s experience with internet service. All residents and businesses play a key part in the survey, as the data collected helps bridge the gap in broadband coverage and informs thecounty of potential broadband service needs. What do residents and businesses need to do? Take the survey from your home or business using a wired or Wi-Fi connection that services your home or business. It’s important not to use your mobile phone data plan, as that will not measure your home broadband speed. At the end of the survey, a speed test will gather results on connectivity speeds. Once the speed test and survey are complete, simply click submit. Starting on Monday, April 13, the survey and speed test will be available online at https://hrggis.github.io/LackawannaBroadband/ and also on the county website at www.lackawannacounty.org. Residents without internet access, or anyone unable to complete the online survey, can download a printable version from the county website or pick up a copy at their local library or municipal building. The survey will take approximately 5-7 minutes to complete and will be open through July 13, 2026. Questions or comments, or to request a hardcopy by mail or email, contact internetsurvey@lackawannacounty.org
Geisinger Hospitals Recognized For Caring For Individuals With Diabetes Five Geisinger hospitals were among just 37 hospitals to be named Recognized Leaders in Caring for People Living with Diabetes, a designation bestowed by The Leapfrog Group in collaboration with the American Diabetes Association (ADA). The national designation program is in its third year and evaluates hospitals based on their care for patients with diabetes during admission, hospital stay and discharge. The program recognizes hospitals aligned with the ADA’s Standards of Care in Diabetes and Leapfrog’s standards for excellence in hospital safety and quality. Geisinger hospitals receiving the recognition were: · Geisinger Shamokin Area Community Hospital · Geisinger Medical Center · Geisinger Community Medical Center · Geisinger Lewistown Hospital · Geisinger Bloomsburg Hospital “This recognition is truly an honor. It represents the culmination of our collective efforts to improve the lives of our patients with diabetes through a multidisciplinary approach. We remain committed to making sure our patients get the same high-quality care, regardless of where at Geisinger they got it,” said Brian Jameson, D.O., Geisinger director of endocrinology. “I’d like to thank our colleagues in departments across Geisinger for making the programs and practices to improve diabetes care part of the Geisinger culture.” Recognized hospitals provide safe, high-quality care for people living with diabetes through blood glucose (blood sugar) testing and hypoglycemia protocols, specialized preparation for inpatient surgery, meals and insulin regimen planning, and robust discharge planning for high-risk people with diabetes. Hospitals are assessed in how they implement these processes and structures, and on how well they execute on the standard of care delivered to a random sample of patients.
