We began the month of April with a sequence of conversations about the various health initiatives slated this month. Melissa Lyon, the Public Health Director at the Erie County Dept. of Health came to speak about Public Health Week this week. Then members of the Center for Organ Recovery & Education came to talk about Donate Life month. Joining us was CORE spokesperson and heart recipient Brittany Grimm, CORE volunteer and heart transplant recipient Michelle Hagerty, and Mother of a CORE donor Vicki Pius. Finally, Lynne Gotham, the Executive Director of Parkinson Partners of NW PA, Inc., came on to talk about Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month.
