The first hospital in Pittsburgh opened its doors in 1847, when the Sisters of Mercy built on their mission of aiding the sick.
It has been 174 years, and, today, healing the sick and maintaining the healthy has become a billion-dollar industry in the region. On June 2, UPMC released its 2020 numbers, reporting $23.1 billion in revenue at a time when many medical facilities were stretched and other industries were breaking.
Hospitals are more than just an economic battery that provides jobs and powers related businesses. They are a vital organ that keeps the community healthy. From birth to broken bones to blood tests, a functioning hospital’s effect is felt every day.
ELLWOOD CITY – The search for local shots is over.
On Saturday, UPMC Jameson will walk 500 first doses of the Pfizer vaccine right into the Lincoln High School large gym, and, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., offer the shots to any area residents that want them.
The push for the vaccine clinic came from Ellwood City Fire Chief Rick Myers, who contacted leaders at UPMC Jameson about delivering vaccines to places where people live and work, especially locations like Ellwood City that lack easy access to a medical center. Before the fire chief reached out to us, we had had some internal discussions about expanding our clinics to the Ellwood City area, so it made it a pretty easy decision when he approached us, said Ron Barnes, coordinator of pharmacy compliance at UPMC Jameson and UPMC Horizon. We were eager to partner with them as well, and they certainly are an under-resourced area now that they have no hospital locally there.
It s been a tough year for everybody including for The Beaver County Times.
From personnel changes, layout adjustments and content variance to all that came along with working during a pandemic while also covering the details of the ever-changing status of COVID-19, it s been quite a year.
And yet, reporters at The Times and The Ellwood City Ledger pushed through, covering not only the pandemic but how it affected different communities, industries and individuals. Investigative reporting continued, municipal coverage pursued, and the county s award-winning newspaper picked up awards yet again.
The Times and Ledger netted eight total wins in the 2021 Pennsylvania Keystone Media Awards for this past year, landing three first-place awards, two-second place and three honorable mentions.
