The United Way Day of Caring serves as a reminder of the good we can do when we come together as a community. Excela Health employees assisted residents of Harmon House Care Center in Mount Pleasant in making fun fall crafts, supported Seton Hill Child Services, Inc. with a beautification project, and completed some painting projects for the Westmoreland Cultural Trust. Employees represented multiple service lines including Home Care & Hospice, Laboratory, Imaging, Information Technology and more! Thank you to all who care for our community throughout the year.
