CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL
NEIGHBORHOOD – JOIN
THE GREAT AMERICAN
CLEANUP OF PA
Cleaning up your neighborhood is one
of the best investments you can make.
Whether you have vacant lots plagued with
debris, natural areas that are dumped on,
or litter blown from down the street, any
neighborhood can be lifted up by positive
action.
The 15th annual Keep Pennsylvania
Beautiful Great American Cleanup of PA
can help get you started. From March 1
through May 31, thousands of Pennsylvania
families and friends will partake in litter
and illegal dump cleanups, beautification
projects such as tree and flower plantings,
recycling collections and education
programs.
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful partners
with PennDOT, the Department of
Environmental Protection, and Keep
America Beautiful to provide free trash
bags, gloves, and safety vests to registered
participants, as supplies last. During Let’s
Pick It Up PA—every day from April 13
through May 6—cleanups registered with
the Great American Cleanup of PA are
eligible to take their trash to participating
landfills free of charge or for a reduced rate.
Registration can be done online at
gacofpa.org. Michelle Dunn, Great
American Cleanup of PA Program
Coordinator, can answer questions at

OHIO VALLEY HOSPITAL
AND HERITAGE VALLEY
HEALTH SYSTEM
COMPLETE AFFILIATION
After receiving final regulatory approval,
Ohio Valley Hospital and Heritage Valley
Health System have officially joined together.
The two not-for-profit healthcare institutions
share the common mission of bringing
high-quality, cost effective health care to the
community. By unifying the organizations,
the enlarged health system can expand its
footprint to further meet the healthcare
needs of the region.
“We are looking forward to what the
future holds for Ohio Valley Hospital by
joining forces with an organization like
Heritage Valley that we highly respect and
trust,” said Mark Brennan, Chair of the
Board of Ohio Valley Hospital.
Ohio Valley Hospital is now a subsidiary
of Heritage Valley Health System. Both
Boards of Directors have collaborated over
the past year to develop an agreement that
best meets the needs of the community and
patients served by Ohio Valley Hospital.
The alignment is expected to enable
Ohio Valley Hospital to enhance its
icmags.com
medical staff, expand clinical services and
fund future capital projects. Like many
independent community hospitals, it
has been challenged in recent years by
increasing operating costs and decreasing
reimbursement.
“Our priority has always been, and will
continue to be, to provide and increase
quality health care for our community
members,” said Brennan. “Affiliating with
Heritage Valley Health System will allow us
to do just that.”
“Heritage Valley is very pleased and
honored to have Ohio Valley join our
integrated healthcare organization,” said
Lynn George, PhD, Chair of Heritage Valley
Health System Board of Directors. “Our
board unanimously supported the affiliation
and, identical to Ohio Valley Hospital’s
Board, remains committed to high-quality,
cost-effective, locally accessible community
health care.”
