In this Update:
A Special Thanks to All Veterans
We set aside Veterans Day to acknowledge and celebrate all who have served and sacrificed to defend the freedoms we hold dear. Those who have answered the call to serve in our armed forces deserve our deepest gratitude. Our area is blessed to be home to many who have worn our nation’s uniform and many who are still serving. Their leadership, experiences, and character help to shape our community. I hope we can all find ways to thank them for their selflessness this week and throughout the year.

Thank you to the students, staff, and exhibitors who joined me at my Alternatives to College Expo at the Hope Fire Company Social Hall in Northern Cambria. Senate Acts to Expand Access to Midwife Maternal Care
The Senate approved legislation to strengthen maternal health care in Pennsylvania by expanding access to midwife services. Senate Bill 507 would modernize licensure requirements for certified midwives, improve collaboration between midwives and physicians and update prescription authority – particularly for the treatment of substance use disorders. Midwives provide care for women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, as well as newborn care during the first 28 days of life. Many also offer routine health services, including prenatal care, clinical exams, screenings and patient education. The bill was sent to the House of Representatives for consideration. Watch Out for Increased Deer Activity on Roads
The number of deer-related crashes in Pennsylvania has been on the rise since 2020, with last year’s total of 6,426 setting a five-year high, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). Autumn means increased deer activity on roads. Deer become more active at dawn and dusk, and if you see one, there are usually more. PennDOT advises motorists involved in a deer-related crash to assess the situation to determine whether they need to contact local authorities. Pennsylvanians can report a dead deer for removal from state-maintained roads by calling 1-800-FIX-ROAD or submitting feedback through the PennDOT Customer Care Center. |
