WEIRTON – In an effort to continue investing in the region, WVU Medicine Weirton Medical Center established a philanthropic organization earlier this year to support the communities served by the hospital. Friday afternoon, the WMC Foundation recognized the first recipients of its Building a Healthier Community grant program with a luncheon held at A.V. Lauttamus Communications. “This is an unprecedented investment for us,” said David Artman, president and CEO of WVU Medicine Weirton Medical Center, noting while it is important to see WVU Medicine investing in Weirton’s facilities, it is just as important to see contributions for the surrounding area. “This is about you and the difference you make in our community.” The Building a Healthier Community grant program was announced in August, as a way to provide funding opportunities for non-profit organizations working to improve the health and well-being of area residents.

Nearby: Steubenville, OHSTEUBENVILLE — About 85 area residents were in attendance Wednesday for Steubenville Mayor Ralph Petrella’s first “State of the City” address at Youngstown State University-Steubenville. “The point was to make sure that our citizens know what our vision is,” he said afterward. “We want to make clear that we have a vision, that we have an identity and a direction, and we want our citizens to be involved.” He pointed out new businesses have been opening throughout town “and more are being developed as we speak” even as the city continues “investing in our parks and making our neighborhoods more enjoyable and more recruitable.” “What was once a dream is now a visible plan of action,” he said. “The work we are doing today encourages hope for tomorrow, but it also brings forth a huge responsibility to continue to build and show progress through our actions, not merely our words.
