This flu season is considered one of the worst in recent years. Heritage Valley Health System is continuing to monitor its situation daily to stay ahead of the virus.
Heritage Valley Health System is dealing with a higher-than-usual volume of flu cases this winter, considered to be the worst flu season in recent years. Starting just before Christmas, Tom Pangburn, director of emergency services at Heritage Valley Health System, said both the Sewickley and Beaver hospitals in the health system began seeing an uptick in influenza-type flu cases. “It’s continued to be consistently high with peaks and valleys since that time,” Pangburn said. While numbers fluctuate with more visits on Sundays and Mondays, Pangburn said the emergency room department is seeing about 10 to 15 percent more visits per day than a year ago, when there wasn't a huge influenza outbreak. Heritage Valley’s multi-disciplinary …

A group of neighbors seeks borough council's help in clearing the air.
When Mary Malyszka went to pick up her son from the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten, the day should have been filled with joy and excitement, she said. “Instead, it was filled with carcinogens and rude behavior,” Malyszka, of Broad Street, told Sewickley Council Monday night. As mother and son walked home from the Blackburn Road stop, they and other kindergarteners passed several Heritage Valley Sewickley Hospital employees who were puffing on cigarettes. Malyszka said her 5-year-old was forced to walk through a “gauntlet of cigarette smoke.” She said none of the employees bothered to move out of the way, and when she asked that they take their cigarette break at a time when kindergarteners aren’t getting off the bus, she said no…

I frequently go to the YMCA in Sewickley and am taken with the irony of the hospital workers walking by smoking.. Does seeing patients dying from lung and other cancers not deter their choice to puff away money and health? I support keeping smokers in their own homes and not in my air space anywhere since i choose health, the Y, and exerting my rights to smoke free air.. more ›
