Attended the Phase 3 ribbon cutting for Hempfield Park. โ๏ธโจ
This includes a terrific amphitheater, new concession stand, and more landscaping.
Thank you to Supervisors Bill Bretz, Doug Weimer and Jay Anderson for inviting me. I loved it! They did a bang up job on the park!
Bring your lawn chair and enjoy the beautiful park while listening to live music on June 21, July 18 and 25, August 2, 14 and 29 and September 5.๐

Itโs #nationaldairymonth , and the PA Dairymenโs Association stopped by today to celebrate and hand out FREE milkshakes.
Usually I ask for the chocolate milkshake, but today I switched things up and got the best of both worlds: half vanilla and half chocolate. It was delicious! ๐ฅโค๏ธ
Had a special guest in the Capitol yesterday. Always great to see my Western PA neighbor, Phil! ๐ฉ #punxsutawneyphil

It was an honor to be this yearโs commencement speaker at @rosemontcollege โs graduation ceremony.
Congratulations, graduates! Your hard work and dedication has paid off!๐๐๐
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?
Itโs almost Motherโs Day. ๐๐๐Letโs celebrate the amazing women in our lives by reminding them to prioritize their health. Schedule that annual mammogramโearly detection saves lives! ๐๐#mammographymonth @pabreastcancer
