Share Your Story at CareforPA

As a member of the hospital community, you play an important role in keeping the health care system a strong and vital part of your community. Individuals just like you are working together to make health care stronger. Because speaking out about issues that could affect your care, your hospital, and your community, is so important, we've launched a new area of this website where you can do just that--Share Your Story.

You can share information with the hospital community statewide on the good things going on in hospitals across Pennsylvania--such as programs and services that serve the community, quality and patient safety initiatives, or outstanding volunteers or employees. You can share information about the challenges being faced by Pennsylvania's hospitals--such as the impact of the state budget proposal, the impact a piece of legislation, or other challenges in today's environment. You can send it electronically and include a photo or a link to a video.

To kick things off, we've posted two stories from hospitals across the state. The first story is a video from Abington Memorial Hospital Trustee Lorraine Pruitt, who talks about the important role of hospital trustees to patients and communities. The second story is from Dr. Charles J. Incalcaterra, Lehigh Valley Health Network's program director, department of dental medicine, about their participation in a nationwide outreach program that provides free dental care to children in need.
