Put People First PA is recruiting healthcare workers
The Put People First! PA South Central Healthcare Rights Committee is recruiting healthcare workers to join us for our Projects of Survival People’s Pop-up Health Clinics and our Healthcare is a Human Right campaign!
Are you a home healthcare aide? Do you work in a Nursing home or Rehabilitation center? Are you a nurse or nursing student? Do you work in the custodial or food service department for a healthcare organization or corporation? If so, we need YOUR voice and leadership to be a part of our fight for a more just healthcare system!
Part of our Healthcare is a Human Right campaign is fighting for a Public Healthcare Advocate (PHA) for Pennsylvania. A PHA would be a new office in state government that would fight for the healthcare rights of all PA state residents.
The office of the Public Healthcare Advocate will have the power, in connection to us everyday folks, to change the way healthcare operates in Pennsylvania and could help with getting the safe staffing limits many healthcare workers are organizing and fighting for. You can learn more about the Public Healthcare Advocate and HB 1828 on our website at www.putpeoplefirstpa.org
If you're a healthcare worker in the South Central Healthcare Rights Committee region we could use your help at our People’s Pop-up Health Clinics in providing Blood Pressure Screenings. (See graphics below for more details about our clinics)

Council discusses trolley options - again
Article by Gayle Johnson, LNP
Council members will choose among three options to dispose of the borough’s unused trolley after at least two individuals or groups expressed interest in buying it. Columbia could accept sealed bids, hold an auction in person or let Municibid conduct an open online auction.
Most council members agreed they would like to see the trolley remain in Columbia but debated which sales method to use. Municibid, a Philadelphia-based online auction house for government equipment, charges a fee, similar to an eBay transaction. The borough already has a live auction scheduled in June to sell recovered bicycles, but that sale date delays immediate trolley use. The last alternative, sealed bids, may send the vehicle to neighboring states.
“I personally would like to see the trolley remain in Columbia,” council member Todd Burgard said.
Buyers: Chris Vera, who leads the Columbia Historic Preservation Society, has offered $12,500 for the vehicle, which will add seats to the society’s popular tours, such as its Albatwich event and Columbia Railroad Day. The Columbia Merchants Association previously asked to buy or lease the trolley for $1,500 to ferry residents and visitors to different shopping areas, such as The Market House.
