Certificates of Appreciation
Hillcrest Pharmacy recently opened in West Hempfield Township next to Giant on Columbia Avenue. The pharmacy owner and her staff had worked together at the KMART pharmacy in that same shopping center for years. When KMART announced they were closing we heard from many residents about how much Melissa and her pharmacy team at KMART would be missed.
Over the years Pharmacist Melissa Koehler, who is a Township resident, has supported our Township staff and police in many ways, including administering flu shots to our employees. This year when we reached out to her, she was more than happy to help with COVID vaccines for our police officers. Our police cannot protect our community if they are ill or quarantined. Melissa and her team stepped up to the challenge and took care of all officers who were interested (which was most of them).
Hillcrest has also been helping our community with vaccines for health care workers, senior citizens, and those with eligible health risks.
Most important to note, as they just opened, they are not yet setup to bill insurance companies, so they have been providing vaccines without charge, although they have been gratefully accepting donations for their services!
Jakob Kreibick completed his Eagle Scout project at Murray Park in early December 2020.
Jakob plotted the location and species of trees to be planted from the design drawings provided to him. He then did his own PA One Call, coordinated his helpers, and planted almost 200 trees at Murray Park. He overcame the struggles of trying to put this together during the COVID pandemic. Jakob and team managed to plant all of these trees in one day thanks to the help of a volunteer crew consisting of other scouts, family, and friends. He also made field adjustments when an angry neighbor complained! Thank you Jakob for your hard work and dedication to serving the community
