Rotarian, Vanessa Bidwell, introduced guest speaker, Brad Chapman (left), President and CEO of Penn Highlands Elk at the August 20th at Rotary luncheon meeting. Mr. Chapman updated the club on renovations at the hospital, Pine Crest and the medical office building. Penn Highlands Elk continues to be the largest employer in Elk County with a 2.7 million dollar operating budget and remains a fiscally sound hospital. In 2018 there were 15,000 emergency room and 24,000 Q-Care visits. They continue to focus on addressing quality, stability and wait times.
Several new physicians have been hired including Dr. Zubar a General Surgeon from Pakistan who resides in Ridgway with his family. Dr. Zubar loves the small community and wants to provide competent care in a compassionate way.
Rotary would like to thank everyone who purchased a picnic ticket, volunteered and donated items making this year’s fundraiser a huge success!
