A very special broadcast, this week, as we examine a growing public health crisis – in this nation, this state, and Southwestern Pennsylvania: opioid addiction – which resulted, in 2015 – in the highest number of recorded drug and fentanyl-related overdoses, in the history of the Westmoreland County Coroner’s office.

Heroin overdose deaths are up – by a staggering 683% — since 2002, fentanyl overdose deaths, have increased, by 364-percent, since 2015, and Westmoreland County has seen a 691-percent increase in accidental drug overdose deaths, as a whole, since 2002.

We’ll talk with Cheryld Emala, LCSW – Clinical Director of SPHS Behavioral Health, in Westmoreland County, Frank Salotti, MS – Director of Outpatient Services for Gateway Genesis, in Greensburg, and Dirk Matson – Coordinator of Human Services, for Westmoreland County – about the financial and human cost of drug addiction, in that community.

Then, we’ll hear the personal stories of Darla Ressler and Josh Rimmel – two Westmoreland County patients, in recovery, from drug addiction – about their struggle to overcome this overwhelming and life-threatening problem.

How the PNC Foundation and PNC’s “Grow Up Great” program are helping dedicated teachers receive the supplies and teaching tools they need – for Project Head Start students. For the first time, PNC Foundation helped to convince donorschoose.org – to include Head Start, in its funding projects. We’ll ask Sally McCrady – Executive Vice-President & Director of Community Affairs, for PNC Bank, and Chairwoman & President of the PNC Foundation – about this worthy initiative.

Then, a Hollywood movie producer, with a Pittsburgh connection — Thomas Tull — hits a “home run”, with local sports fans – because of a generous donation to the Heinz History Center’s Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum. Andrew E. Masich, Ph.D. – President & CEO of the Heinz History Center – talks with Paul Martino, about the priceless value of Pittsburgh Pirates’ Hall of Fame 2nd baseman Bill Mazeroski’s 1960 baseball bat and jersey – from that legendary, championship season, now, a part of the museum’s own collection.

Finally, ocean-going containers, are helping the victims of natural disasters and public health challenges – through the valued work of the Pittsburgh-based, Brother’s Brother Foundation. Their president – Luke Hingson – will tell us how life-saving medicines and supplies are being shipped, by the charity, and are making a difference, around the world.
