The Latrobe Area Hospital Aid Society and the Latrobe Area Hospital Charitable Foundation truly know how to roll out the red carpet! On October 7, 2025, they hosted a beautiful Family Medicine Residents Reception at the Latrobe Country Club — and it was a night to remember.

Our intern residents were greeted with thoughtful goodie bags from local businesses and had the chance to share fun facts about themselves with our wonderful community members. A HUGE THANK YOU to both organizations for their incredible hospitality and support. It’s this kind of community spirit that makes the Latrobe Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program the BEST place to learn, grow, and serve! 💙
