Scranton’s Friendship House plans major expansion

SCRANTON, Pa. — The Friendship Home just lately acquired the Murray Setting up on Biden Road, the adjacent Davidow Creating on Wyoming Avenue, and a parking lot throughout the avenue in Scranton.  

CEO and President Alex Hazzouri states the firm is getting big techniques forward to provide mental well being and substance abuse care. 

“Friendship Property is mission-driven. And our mission contains serving little ones, adolescents, and older people and for behavioral wellbeing, and we will need to produce this so that these people are served,” Hazzouri explained.

The Friendship Dwelling programs to transform the former business office house into a area to supply “total-particular person” treatment.  

The organization also partnered with Scranton Main Health Care Centre to offer main treatment at the downtown middle, and there are ideas to supply pharmacy products and services.

“And it is proof-dependent, individuals, a whole lot of people that go through from psychological health issues or substance abuse are not using treatment of their bodies, and they’re going for this type of behavioral support, but they’re not generating it to their health-related health practitioner. They’re just or their health practitioner,” Hazzouri mentioned.

“We’re at a corner wherever 17 of the 23 bus routes in Lackawanna County go by this facility each day. We are inside of a swift walk to the College of Scranton to Lackawanna Higher education to so many elderly superior rises or other residences,” Hazzouri included.

The retail suppliers on the road amount of the building will stay, and the facades will be spruced up together with the renovations.
