Mission Statement:
Moses Taylor Hospital will provide continuously improving quality and cost effective health care that is customer and community focused.


Moses Taylor Hospital is a community-based health care facility with a long tradition of providing quality health care services to the residents of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Founded in 1892 by a New York City merchant, banker and industrialist named Moses Taylor, the mission of the hospital was to care for the railroad workers and coal miners of the region. The main campus of the hospital remains at this site located at 700 Quincy Avenue, Scranton, PA.

The newest additions to the scope of care provided at Moses Taylor Hospital include our Wound Care Center, MRI/CT Center, and VNA Hospice & Palliative Care Center.
