Last week members of the Beaver County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and guests were invited to tour the Pittsburgh International Airport’s Modernization Project.

“This project is about more than just building a new airport. It helps to advance the entire Pittsburgh region forward, including Beaver County. The project impact includes 14,300 total jobs, $2.5B in economic activity with zero local or state tax dollars used, and over 90% of materials and services sourced locally.

The new airport will provide for an improved passenger experience for the traveling public, stable and predictable costs for the airlines operating at PIT, and a new front door that our region deserves for the 10 million passengers that travel through Pittsburgh International Airport each and every year.”

What is a Health Coach, Anyway?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the advice out there on nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress—or just trying to “be healthier”—you’re not alone. That’s where a health coach comes in.

A health coach isn’t here to give you a list of rules or tell you what’s wrong. We’re here to partner with you—to listen, to support, and to help you build a personalized plan based on what’s most important to you.

Here’s what a health coach really does:

  • Helps you set meaningful, realistic goals
  • Offers accountability in a supportive, nonjudgmental way
  • Helps you identify your “why” and stay motivated
  • Guides you in building healthy habits that stick
  • Supports you through challenges like stress, sleep struggles, or nutrition confusion

You’re still the expert on your life—your values, your routines, your goals. I’m just here to help you BUILD MOMENTUM and create a path forward that works for YOU.

Want to feel stronger, sleep better, manage stress, or eat in a way that supports your energy and health? Let’s talk about what matters most to you—and create a plan that helps you get there.

Every coaching relationship starts with a FREE consultation. Let’s make lasting change together.

Don’t forget to ask about our company / corporate wellness events and programs.

Penguins split with two-time Stanley Cup winning coach Mike Sullivan

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Sullivan’s nearly decade-long tenure running the Pittsburgh Penguins is over.

The team announced Monday that it was parting ways with the two-time Stanley Cup winning coach just over a week after the Penguins missed out on the playoffs for a third straight season.

Sullivan, whose 409 wins with Pittsburgh are a franchise record, led the Penguins to back-to-back championships in 2016 and 2017 and had two more years left on the contract extension he signed in 2022. The 57-year-old had said recently that he wanted to remain with the club as it tries to retool around future Hall of Famer Sidney Crosby.

General manager Kyle Dubas was a bit more cautious last week, saying that he and Sullivan planned to meet to ensure their visions of the team’s future remained aligned. Dubas, in a statement announcing the decision to move on, said it wasn’t one the club took lightly.

“As we continue to navigate the Penguins through this transitional period, we felt it was the best course forward for all involved,” Dubas said.
