Embark on an Enlightening Journey Through Veterans Grove, Witnessing its Profound Impact

from In Their Words · host UPMC Pinnacle Foundation and UPMC Central Pa

In this episode of In Their Words, we explore the collaborative efforts of UPMC Veteran Care Services, the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation, and Veterans Outreach of Pennsylvania (VOPA) in creating Veterans Grove, a sanctuary nestled along the serene Susquehanna River in south Harrisburg. Joined by guests Marc Migala, Tom Zimmerman, and Bill Habacivch, we uncover the vision and development of this transformative community. Together, they illuminate the therapeutic model of Veterans Grove, addressing the unique needs of each veteran and fostering camaraderie, personal responsibility, and healing. From constructing 15 tiny homes surrounding a community center to implementing supportive programs, Veterans Grove offers holistic support to veterans experiencing homelessness. We also spotlight the generous support of the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation, whose contribution has been instrumental in the project's progress. Tune in as we celebrate the resilience of veterans and the communities rallying to support them.
