Last week, I had the opportunity to meet Kaden, a student from Greater Latrobe Senior High School and congratulate him on his acceptance to the prestigious NASA STEM Enhancement in Earth and Space Science (SEES) Summer Internship at the University of Texas at Austin Center for Space Research. More than 3,000 applications were received for the coveted 118 on-site internship positions.
Congratulations, Kaden!โญ๏ธ

Have you visited historical @valleyforgepark before? If not, right around the semiquincentennial would be a great time to plan a visit! They have some great events planned on and leading up to the fourth!

Itโs #nationaldairymonth , and the PA Dairymenโs Association stopped by today to celebrate and hand out FREE milkshakes.

Scheduled your mammogram? ๐Ask these questions before you go:
๐Is this imaging considered screening or diagnostic?
๐Am I insured under PA law/is my plan state-regulated?
๐If yes: When will Act 52 take effect for me?
๐If yes: Have I confirmed coverage with my insurer?
