(Harrisburg, PA) Pennsylvania health-care advocates are in Washington, D.C. today and Wednesday to urge Congress to extend federal funding for Community Health Centers before the end-of-the-year deadline. Community Health Centers serve as primary-care providers for more than 32-million Americans. Joe Dunn with National Association of Community Health Centers says more than three hundred advocates are rallying for a solution and to ensure that patients can continue to get health access and be seen by their clinicians. Health centers receive federal funding from two sources, annual discretionary funding and multi-year base funding. In March, Congress extended the base funding through this month at a rate of more than four billion per year. This bipartisan legislation would need to continue to increase funding for health centers.

(Allegheny County, PA) After a crash that happened last year before Christmas that killed two teenagers, the teenage suspect has pleaded guilty. Nineteen-year-old Aiden Saber received a sentence of a stay in prison for two and a half years with probation following. On December 23rd of last year, a single vehicle caused a crash, and according to a criminal complaint, a tree split almost in half after it was run into by the vehicle and then went across Irwin Road, proceeding to rest on a hill with wooded environment. Eighteen-year-old Taylor Orlowski of Baden and fourteen-year-old Jonathan Tourney of Gibsonia passed away after the accident near Babcock Avenue in McCandless, and the four that were in the car had injuries that were minor. Both Taylor and Jonathan were passengers in the vehicle and were killed after Saber did not have control of the vehicle with his system having alcohol, causing him to drive seventy miles an hour at least in North Park. Saber has since apologized for the incident.
