 (Darlington Township, PA) Residents arrived in Darlington Township Tuesday morning at 10am for the opening of a Health Resource Center in response to the East Palestine train derailment.  The resource center was made possible due to efforts made by the Shapiro Administration along with local leaders Senator Elder Vogel, Senator Camera Bartolotta, and Representative Jim Marshall.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health is providing a Primary Health Clinic, along with specialists in behavioral health and chemical exposure at the center along with tables with Department of Health representatives to answer questions and provide information.  Nate Wardle, Special Response Project Manager for the PA Dept. of Health, told Beaver County Radio that the center is open to anybody and not limited to just Beaver and Lawrence counties.

The Health Resource Center is located in the rear of the Darlington Township Municipal Building at 3590 Darlington Road.  It will be open weekdays from 10am to 8pm until at least March 10th.  Signs have been posted outside the building directing people in the right direction.
