What are the health needs of Central Pennsylvanians and other nearby residents? UPMC recently published its 2022 Community Health Needs Assessments and Implementation Plans. The assessment identified the four most pressing health needs in all the communities served by UPMC. It may not be a surprise – especially after the past two and half years of the COVID-19 pandemic – but behavioral health was identified as the number priority or health need. We’ll talk about that and the other three on the list on today’s Smart Talk with Tina Nixon, vice president, Mission Effectiveness and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, UPMC in Central Pa. and Christine Rapp, Manager, Public Relations, UPMC in Central Pa.
