(Harmony, PA) – Allegheny Health Network (AHN) and Steamfitters Local Union 449 officials today announced plans for a new, state-of-the-art outpatient center in Harmony. AHN Seneca Valley Outpatient Center will be located at the new Steamfitters Offices & Events Center (232 Wise Road) and will offer an array of primary, specialty and diagnostic services for residents of Harmony, Zelienople and surrounding communities.
AHN is partnering with Mascaro Construction to develop the south end of the existing complex at the Steamfitters Offices & Events Center into a 7,500-square-foot healthcare facility, which is expected to open in June. RM Creative has been engaged to serve as the project architect.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Steamfitters Union in bringing this important new health care facility to the community, providing more convenient access to high-quality health care services closer-to-home for our patients,” said Cynthia Hundorfean, AHN President and CEO. “
Key clinical programs that will be offered at the new facility include sports medicine, orthopedics, and primary care, among other services.
Providing full-time primary care for patients at AHN Seneca Valley will be AHN primary care physician Judy Weslowski, DO. AHN orthopaedic surgeons rotating at the facility will be Timothy Sauber, MD, Nicholas Bonazza, MD, Stephen Hribar, MD and Peter Tang, MD. Jared Ramsey, DO, an AHN sports medicine primary care and concussion management specialist will also be on site.
Complementing these physicians and programs will be a team of physical, speech and occupational therapists as well as a pelvic floor therapist and an oncology rehabilitation therapist.
Additionally, AHN Seneca Valley will offer diagnostic imaging and laboratory services on site. The center will feature patient-friendly wayfinding throughout and ample front-door parking.
“We’re hearing from people who live in neighboring communities that they are very pleased with AHN and Highmark Health’s decision to invest in this area,” said Joe Little, Financial Secretary-Treasurer for the Steamfitters Union. “The Steamfitters Union and Highmark have a long-standing collaborative relationship, which we greatly appreciate.”
Expansion of the original section of the Steamfitters Training and Technology building, which was built in 2017 began two years ago. Upon completion, the new construction will house offices for the union’s executives and will also feature an indoor-outdoor special event and conference venue. The third floor, which is currently undeveloped, will be available for leasing.
“Our plan for this site from the very beginning was to create a community asset,” said Little. “Partnering with Highmark and AHN to help us add this valuable dimension to make our goal a reality for the people of this area has been very exciting.”

“The key is to help everybody in Beaver County, as many people as we can, [and] to keep the standard of living to where it’s very affordable and palatable for those that need help.”
Those words reflect the mission of the United Way of Beaver County, of which Mike Rubino is the director. Rubino spoke those words to Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County on February 24, as he came in to talk about the United Way of BC’s “Matching Donation” campaign that runs until May.
As Rubino explained, the goal is to match a mark of $100,000 to anticipate a drop-off in donations as the COVID-19 pandemic slows and certain employers continue to struggle with employment. New donors will have their donations matched, and former donors who donate higher amounts than previously donated will have their added amounts matched. The money will go to multiple charities under the United Way of BC’s umbrella, that range from helping out the youth (YMCA) to senior citizens (Meals On Wheels).

BEIJING (AP) — World stock markets have plunged and oil prices surged by nearly $6 per barrel after President Vladimir Putin launched Russian military action in Ukraine. Market benchmarks tumbled in Europe and Asia and Wall Street futures were sharply lower. Brent crude oil jumped to over $100 per barrel on unease about possible disruption of Russian supplies. The ruble sank 7.5% against the U.S. dollar. The European Union said it planned “massive and targeted” sanctions on Russia. Surging prices for oil and other commodities are an added worry for investors already uneasy about the possible impact of the Federal Reserve’s plans to try to cool inflation.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian troops have launched a wide-ranging attack on Ukraine as President Vladimir Putin cast aside international condemnation and sanctions. He warned other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to “consequences you have never seen.” Ukraine’s leadership said at least 40 people have been killed so far in what it called a “full-scale war” targeting the country from the east, north and south. Ukrainian border guards released footage of what they said were Russian tanks moving in. Big explosions were heard in Ukrainian cities Thursday. The Russian military claimed to have wiped out Ukraine’s entire air defenses in a matter of hours. Ukrainians fled some cities. World leaders decried the start of a long-anticipated invasion with far-reaching consequences.
