HAZLETON - One of the three Hazleton-St. Joseph Medical Center satellite
clinics will close and another will shrink its hours to part-time because
doctors are leaving for private practices, a spokesman for the hospital said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Weatherly satellite will technically close, but a private practice
affiliated with the Greater Hazleton Health Alliance - which oversees the
medical center - will open in the same location, hospital spokesman Pat Ward
said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Freeland satellite clinic will cut its hours in January and will be
staffed three days each week by Dr. Deborah Gorski, Ward said. A
rheumatologist will continue to see patients one or two days per week. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 ``It's important for us to stress we wanted this to be as seamless as
possible so there won't be any disruption of service to our patients,'' Ward
said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Hazleton Health Alliance is putting together advertisements to explain
the changes to its patients, Ward said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Drs. Adrian and Emelia Secheresiu are leaving the Freeland and Weatherly
satellite clinics, respectively, to start a private practice to be located in
the building that houses the Weatherly satellite, Ward said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Adrian Secheresiu declined comment. Emelia Secheresiu could not be reached
for comment. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Dr. Sal Sparich of the Conyngham satellite clinic has announced he is going
into private practice, Ward said. The Hazleton Health Alliance is reviewing
several options on how it will address the needs of his patients. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Within the next few weeks, Dr. Joseph Laczi will be relocating to the
Conyngham satellite, where he will be joined by Dr. Sami Moussa. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Laczi had been practicing in a building across state Route 93 from the
Conyngham satellite clinic. That building may be used by medical specialists
who want to establish office hours in the valley, Ward said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Hazleton-Saint Joseph Medical Center owns the Freeland satellite clinic,
which is actually located in Butler Township. The hospital leases the
satellite clinics in Weatherly and Conyngham, Ward said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The shake-up will save the hospital money at the Weatherly satellite
because the Secheresius are expected to assume responsibility for the lease,
Ward said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
