Hospital Community Relief for Haiti

As we watch with great sorrow the devastation brought by the January 12 earthquake in Haiti, Pennsylvania hospitals have asked how they can provide support for the relief efforts.

The American Hospital Association says that instead of launching a separate relief effort, hospitals are encouraged to consider donating via the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) or another well-established, private-sector relief organization.

To donate time, money, supplies or equipment, go to the USAID webiste.  Inquiries related to donations should be e-mailed to the organization.

Thank you for providing compassion and generosity to the people of Pennsylvania everyday and to our neighbors in times of great need.

The blue and white "H" sign has become know as one of the most simple, yet meaningful, signs anywhere. People know it will take them to a place in their community where it doesn't matter who they are, where they came from, or what they have in their pocket. They know it will take them to a place where the very best people in the community will surround them and do everything in their power for them. That is the promise behind every sign. And that is the promise that Pennsylvania's more than 250 hospitals and their 285,000 employees are working to keep each and every day. It is a promise of healing, health, and hope.
