On November 13, the Pennsylvania Senate unanimously passed a resolution recognizing the good work of the Pennsylvania Catholic Health Association (PCHA) and honoring its 50th anniversary.
SR 267, sponsored by Senator Rafferty, reads in part,
“Whereas, over 3 million Pennsylvanians are assisted at Catholic hospitals each year and hundreds of thousands more are helped at homes for the aged, health care centers, social service centers and other facilities; and whereas health care in America is in a time of transition and yet the timeless values present in Catholic health ministry remain steadfast and as necessary as ever; therefore, be it resolved that the Senate congratulate Pennsylvania Catholic Health Association on the 50th anniversary of its founding.”
