FROM THE CEO
Welcome to the spring issue of IN West Jefferson Hills magazine .
Spring is a season of rebirth — both outdoors and indoors . From flowers and trees blooming , to renovations and remodels that bring a fresh look to your home .
In this issue , our Home Improvement special section will help you transform your home from drab to fab ! From decks and outdoor kitchens to your bathroom , kitchen or home office , we have some great ways to remix , remodel and remake your home sweet home .
Finally , the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly taken a toll on people ’ s emotional health and well-being . Through it all , there has been one silver lining : the comfort and companionship that pets bring to our daily lives . According to research , pets can help to decrease blood pressure , heart disease risk factors , anxiety and depression . And with many spending more time alone and away from their loved ones , a pet ’ s unwavering companionship can help people feel less lonely . If you ’ ve been thinking about adding a cat or dog to your family , don ’ t miss “ Pet Boom ” in this issue . Happy spring !
Wayne C . Dollard
