At Whitehall Elementary School we have a March Madness Money War. This is a great fundraiser we do for the PTSA.

The winning grade will receive a pizza party and extra recess. How can you help? The Whitehall PTSA is seeking businesses that...

This year’s analysis also showed that with these better health outcomes, the healthcare costs for expansion enrollees declined each year they had coverage – and perhaps more importantly, how healthcare spending patterns for enrollees changed over time. “Medicaid coverag...

It can be all too easy, especially when we aren’t feeling well, to harbor negative beliefs, thoughts, and emotions about our bodies. We may feel frustrated, betrayed, hopeless, angry, or even hateful about what we are physically experiencing. We wonder what we did to deserve this, what we did wrong, or why our body can’t just cooperate and do what it’s supposed to. I used to think many of these things myself, and I’ve heard them from many others as well! But as I’ve studied, traveled the path...
