Juniata leads effort to improve rural health

Juniata College has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration to fund a strategic planning project, Rural Communities Collaborative: Building a Cross-Sector Health Network to Improve Health Outcomes.

Rural Communities Collaborative is a Huntingdon County-wide project that builds upon work completed through previous AmeriCorps VISTA projects and community-engaged learning projects at Juniata.

The rural health network is designed to strengthen health care access, quality and outcomes in the county, which is facing population decline, provider shortages, transportation barriers and an aging population.

The Giant Co. will donate nearly 20,000 turkeys and turkey breasts to 35 food banks and community partners in the Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia communities it serves this November. The donation will provide nearly 200,000 individual servings of protein ahead of Thanksgiving.
