Spanish Is a Full Clinical Language Here
Spanish-language care at Scranton Primary Health Care Center is a direct clinical capacity, not a supplemental service: meaning consultations, test counseling, and treatment discussions happen in Spanish without an intermediary. That continuity shapes how completely a patient can engage with their own care at every appointment.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic
Scranton Primary Health Care Center carries hepatitis C treatment as a core service, so a positive antibody result moves into active medical management within the same practice. On-site treatment means the same clinical team that orders the test also oversees the therapeutic course.
The Panel Includes Hepatitis C and TB
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Scranton Primary Health Care Center tests for hepatitis C and tuberculosis. Two conditions with overlapping transmission risks that extend the diagnostic picture a single appointment can produce.

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Lackawanna County tests for syphilis.

Green Ridge, with its mix of longtime homeowners and working families, sets the tone for Dunmore as a whole: a borough where most residents have planted roots, households tend to run three people deep, and nearly two-thirds of adults are actively in the workforce. That last point matters more than it might seem. When schedules are built around shift times, school pickups, and a commute that probably touches I-81 or Blakely Street at least once a day, a screening appointment can feel like one more errand competing for a narrow window of free time.
That pressure falls unevenly on younger adults still forming relationships, people in their twenties especially, who represent a meaningful slice of the borough's population and account for the years when STI transmission runs highest. Modest typical rents keep some cost pressure in check relative to larger metros, but roughly a quarter of households bring home six figures while many others are stretching considerably further, so out-of-pocket fees and flexible payment options remain real considerations when choosing where to get tested. Casey Highway corridor can match a clinic visit to their actual constraints rather than hunting for a single imperfect fit.

Confidentiality & consent in PennsylvaniaMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Pennsylvania law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Pennsylvania, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
Pennsylvania permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
