GCUW SPOTLIGHT:
Cornerstone Care
|
Cornerstone Care is a non-profit network of Community Health Centers serving communities throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania and Northern West Virginia. Their mission is to improve the health of our patients and the residents of our community with special concern for the underserved.
They offer medical, dental, vision, psychiatry and counseling, chiropractic, podiatry, and family planning services on a sliding fee scale, based on a patient’s income and ability to pay. Cornerstone's team of highly qualified physicians are committed to maintaining the highest standard of quality in every aspect of our practices. Their integrated care coordinators, community health workers, and insurance enrollment assisters work with people facing barriers to care to ensure everyone has access to quality healthcare. You can put your ‘best primary care doctor near me’ searches to rest when you become a patient at Cornerstone Care. |
UNITED WAY NEWS
Greene County Mystery Road RallyWe had a great time on Saturday, October 22, with the GCUW 3rd Annual Mystery Road Rally. Participants drove across (down and around) Greene County for about three hours, stopping to complete puzzles and figure out clues along the way. We had 26 vehicles join us on that beautiful day, and even with a few bumps in the road, it was a blast.
Thank you to our event sponsor, EQT, as well as SPHS STARRS Program for supporting this event. We would also like to thank our Road Block agencies - Domestic Violence Services of SWPA, Eva K. Bowlby Library, Flenniken Public Library, Cornerstone Care, Greene County CASA, Corner Cupboard Food Bank and Greene Arc, as well as the businesses that helped us - Greene County Historical Society Museum, 5 Kidz Kandy, Harvey Grange, and Shipley's Firehouse Grub. And, last but definitely not least, thank you to all the participants. I can't forget our event's team - Jack Burt, Ethan Maxwell, Pat Fitch, and Olivia Makel! This year's winners were... 1st Place: Team Phillips with 3:02 and 50 Pts 2nd Place: Team Mankey with 3:07 and 49 Pts 3rd Place: Team Estle with 3:05 and 48 Pts |

2023 UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN
SEPTEMBER KICKS OFF OUR 2023 CAMPAIGN
|
Over the last year, GCUW has stepped up our fight for the people of our community, ensuring that the most necessary programs remained and thrived. In 2023, our goal is to connect… connect people to resources, connect volunteers to opportunities, and connect leadership to long standing local issues. But to do this, we need your help.
On behalf of GCUW, we ask you to commit to making an impact where you live and/or work. Through your generous donation, YOU are helping libraries touch lives through educational activities. YOU are offering abused individuals a safe space and vulnerable adults a hot meal. YOU are giving new shoes to a child before school starts. And, YOU are providing food to those who are struggling and helping when a disaster strikes. Next year, GCUW will offer many ways to make an immediate impact in Greene County. All we need is YOU. |
