Join the Pittsburgh Young Nurse Professionals (YNPs) for the Pittsburgh StepTrek on October 6 at South Side Park. This event is excellent for individuals with a curiosity as to what lies at the top or bottom of the numerous public stairs in the neighborhood.
The routes will take a tour of the hillsides and spectacular views that distinguish Pittsburgh. The family-friendly event combines photography, historic narrative, and a sense of a neighborhood dependent upon steps.
Take the self-guided Trek with the PSNA YNPs — and make it a day of networking in a relaxed, fresh air environment. The course narrative points out landmarks and gives a history of the stairs and buildings, counts the steps, and provides instruction as to the route. Arrows along the course provide direction as well.
Proceeds from the #StepTrek benefit the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association (SSSNA), an all volunteer organization committed to improving this unique neighborhood and providing a unified voice for slopes residents. Primary areas of focus are public safety, neighborhood development and beautification.
This event also helps to benefit The Brashear Association’s Food Pantry. Please remember to bring a canned food item to help stock the Brashear Association Food Pantry. Top items needed include: Peanut Butter & Jelly Spaghetti Sauce Tuna Cereal Baby Food
Order your ticket before September 20 and receive a complimentary t-shirt!

I also release any photos that may involve me.

Access to Food During COVID-19 Pandemic
A Special Message from Sr. Rosemary Donley, PhD, APRN, FAAN
Jacques Laval Endowed Chair in Justice for Vulnerable Populations
As you know we have significant problems, the spread of a virus for which there is no vaccine or specific, effective treatment, concern about testing, the proper distribution of essential equipment and supplies, and the impact on the economy of stay at home policies and the closure of businesses. Vulnerable people are more at risk of infection but also of significant economic hardship. Even in good times, we all know people who are working several minimum wage jobs and struggle between paychecks.
Mindful of the theme of McGinley-Rice 11: The Face of the Person who is Hungry, we are compiling a list of sources of food available in the greater Pittsburgh area.
Thank you and stay safe,
Sr. Rosemary Donley, PhD, APRN, FAAN
