VIDEO: Gold Star Game On WMBA Will Honor Fallen Military Members

“It is said that a person dies twice; once when they take their final breath. and later when their name is spoken for the last time.”

The Gold Star Game on Friday night between New Brighton and host Rochester will be the first of four throughout the WPIAL in 2021. The event is organized by the Gold Star Families to honor the fallen members of the United States Military dating back to World War II. Twenty players will be wearing the names of the fallen on the backs of their jerseys in lieu of their own.

Dana Tabay joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County to talk about the Gold Star Game, and the mission of Gold Star Families to “never forget” the names of those who’ve been lost to battle. Tabay spoke about the events that will occur during the pregame ceremony, and the depth of context that it will provide to not just the young players who may not be used to the grief and weight of losing service members, but to all in attendance who will be reminded why “freedom isn’t free.”

Tabay will join Jason Colangelo and Mike Azadian during halftime of the Gold Star Game, as the game will be broadcast on WMBA beginning with the pregame ceremony at 6:30 and kickoff at 7:00. The ceremony and game will also be livestreamed on the Trib Live High School Sports Network.

PA Groups Back Expanding Medicare to ‘Treat the Whole Person’

Keystone State News Connection

September 3, 2021

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa, has introduced legislation to expand Medicare coverage to include dental, hearing and vision care.

Backers of the bill in the Commonwealth said adding the services could do a lot to keep older adults healthy.

Senate Bill 2618 would cover routine dental cleaning, eyeglasses, hearing exams and more. In many cases, older adults go without these services, particularly hearing aids, because of the cost.

Joanne Grossi, state president for AARP Pennsylvania, said it is time for Medicare to treat the whole person, head to toe.

“If you can’t have a conversation with someone, you’re obviously socially isolated; you can’t hear the phone ring,” Grossi observed. “It leads to increased isolation and depression, which ironically end up costing the health care system more money, and Medicare more money, because they’re leading to these detrimental health outcomes.”

Grossi spoke this week in Wilkes-Barre at a Special Committee on Aging hearing, which Sen. Casey chairs. Casey said he hopes the legislation is passed when the Senate is back in session as part of the budget reconciliation process. Some pushback is expected from lawmakers who will question the cost.

About 17% of older adults in the United States have lost all their teeth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Kelly Ranieli, executive director of Volunteers in Medicine, which provides free medical, dental and behavioral health services to people who are uninsured or underinsured in Northeastern Pennsylvania, said some of their older patients need tooth extractions and dentures but often can’t afford either.

“Many have extreme difficulty eating solid food, which, you know, many are malnourished,” Ranieli explained. “To heal the entire well-being, medical, dental, and behavioral health care needs to be provided. I mean, everyone benefits from a healthy community.”

Medicare provides coverage to 2.8 million Pennsylvanians 65 and older or with chronic disabilities.

US Hospitals Hit with Nurse staffing Crisis Amid COVID

US hospitals hit with nurse staffing crisis amid COVID
By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH and MICHAEL KUNZELMAN Associated Press
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a nurse staffing crisis that is forcing many U.S. hospitals to pay top dollar to get the help they need to handle the crush of patients this summer. The problem, health leaders say, is twofold: Nurses are quitting or retiring, exhausted or demoralized by the crisis. And many are leaving for lucrative temporary jobs with traveling-nurse agencies that can pay $5,000 or more a week. The explosion in salaries has wreaked havoc on hospitals without deep enough pockets.
