Lehigh Valley Business, a newspaper providing information, analysis and advice to the Lehigh Valley region in Pennsylvania recently featured an article highlighting the relationship between ER Express and Pocono Medical Center. 

Pocono Medical Center announced in May it would offer a version of ER Express, branded as PoconoRapid.care, to provide patients an online platform to see a physician at any of its walk-in treatment facilities, according to Feola. 

PoconoRapid.care access from a mobile device or computer allows patients to register before leaving their locations and be treated once they arrive in Pocono facilities in East Stroudsburg, Bartonsville, Brodheadsville and Tobyhanna, according to Pocono Medical Center.

Pocono's mobile app provides mapping and GPS directions to its nearest immediate care facilities. It's a service boon for out-of-town visitors to Pocono attractions who may need health care and don't know where to turn.
