The Squirrel Hill Health Center along Browns Hill Road has many patients struggling with health barriers.

The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services recently announced over three-million dollars in Affordable Care Act funding will be divided among 5 new health center sites in Pennsylvania. This funding will allow these centers to provide health care services to communities needing them most.
