Plans underway for National Hospital Week 2023

The Punxsutawney Area Hospital is getting ready to celebrate National Hospital Week which is held annually to recognize employees for their dedication and commitment as well as interact with their communities. This year the dates for NHW are May 7th through May 13th. Healthcare workers play a vital role in our communities; this was incredibly evident in recent years as the world struggled through the global pandemic. NHW is a great time of the year to shine a spotlight on hospitals and health systems who play such an essential role in the health of our communities. The staff members at Punxsutawney Area Hospital will be invited to participate in various activities throughout the week. Some of these activities include: an online scavenger hunt, employee breakfasts, the Groundhog Grindz Coffee trailer, department bowling, a cornhole tournament and picnic, cookie competition, and many others. This year the Punxsutawney Area Hospital will be hosting a National Hospital Week Kick Off Event and Mixer on Monday, May 8th from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. This event will have a PAH Updates from Jack Sisk, President along with other speakers. The PAH Wellness Bus will be available for tours. There will be light snacks and beverage available as well. The community is invited to attend, show support for the hardworking employees at PAH, and learn more about the great services that are provided at PAH. For more information, please visit www.pah.org.
