WHY 272 · FOUR REASONS

Why choose a 272 number?

01

Serve Geisinger's Danville health system

Geisinger Health System's Danville headquarters oversees 10 hospitals and 30,000 employees across Northeast and Central Pennsylvania. Healthcare vendors, clinical staffing firms, and technology partners benefit from a 272 number to access Geisinger's regional procurement network.

02

Reach Tobyhanna Army Depot

Tobyhanna Army Depot near Scranton is the DoD's largest full-service electronics maintenance facility. Defence contractors, electronics suppliers, and logistics firms need a 272 number to engage Tobyhanna's Wayne County procurement community.

03

Connect with Scranton's professional market

The University of Scranton and Commonwealth Health's regional hospital system anchor Lackawanna County's professional services economy. A 272 number signals genuine Northeastern PA presence to the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre metro's healthcare and academic community.

04

Northeast PA overlay since 2014

272 was introduced in 2014 as an overlay for 570, covering all of Northeast Pennsylvania with identical recognition — used by the same healthcare, defence, university, and manufacturing vendors as 570.

14 FEATURES · ZERO ADD-ONS

Everything included on every 272 number.

Every 272 number delivers fourteen professional tools for Northeast Pennsylvania's healthcare-and-defence economy — compliance call recording for Geisinger Health System's vendor requirements, IVR for Tobyhanna Army Depot's defence supplier community, and analytics for the University of Scranton's Lackawanna County corridor and Northeast Pennsylvania's healthcare, defence, and manufacturing overlay market.
