Community Care HUB CHWs achieve certification

Congratulations to Community Care HUB Community Health Workers Flor, Christy, Justina, and Shealeigh for renewing their CHW Certifcation!

Center for Population Health sponsored a Health Fair at the Johnstown Mill Rats baseball game on July 14. Over 20 organizations tabled the event and provided resource information and children's activities.

Center for Population Health teamed up with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank to provide 3,000 pounds of free produce to residents in Moxham. The Moxham Community Fair and Food Share Block Party featured fresh produce, resource information, and children's activities. Grove Avenue United Methodist Church helped provide volunteers.
