Children’s Service Center is scheduled to open integrated mental health and primary care in Wyoming County later this year, thanks to M&T Bank’s generous donation to renovate its longstanding location at 133 W. Tioga Ave, Tunkhannock. M&T Bank supported the project with a $20,000 donation through the 2023-24 Neighborhood Assistance Program of the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development, which provides tax credits for eligible businesses on DCED-approved projects. The newly renovated first floor will house the second location for CSC’s Conyngham Primary Health Care Center along with mental health programs for all ages. Conyngham Primary Health Care Center opened in Wilkes-Barre in 2022 to complement mental health services and offer more comprehensive care for people of all ages, and recently earned designation from the Health Resources and Services Administration as a Federally Qualified Health Center, Look Alike, to better reach underserved communities. Pictured at left are Mike Hopkins, recently retired CSC President/CEO; M&T Bank’s Sarah Burnett, Assistant Vice President and Program Officer, and Gail D'Angelo, Senior Vice President & Regional CRA Manager, and newly appointed CSC President and CEO Christopher Boyle. CSC’s Tunkhannock office provides mental health and substance use disorder services to more than 1,200 residents of Wyoming County and surrounding communities each year.
