The America 250 Community Mural has found its permanent home at the Tunkhannock Area School District Administration Building.

We are grateful to Tunkhannock Area School District for partnering with us on a location that reflects the role the district plays in this community—not only as a place of education, but as a central gathering point for students, families, residents, and shared civic life.

This project is being created through community participation, one painted tile at a time, as residents across Wyoming County help build a lasting tribute to America’s 250th anniversary. A public tile-painting opportunity is planned during Founders Day at the Dietrich Theater for community members who would like to take part.

Follow our page for updates and details about the official unveiling celebration.

Big emotions, sibling arguments, hurt feelings, and communication struggles are all part of growing up — but children can learn healthy ways to express themselves and connect with others.

Join Diane Ogin of Pathway to Peace & Wellness for an interactive parent workshop focused on helping children build stronger communication skills, healthy relationships, and respectful conflict resolution strategies.

Parents of children in grades K–2 will learn simple tools to help children:
• Express feelings appropriately
• Practice active listening
• Navigate disagreements respectfully
• Build confidence in conversations
• Strengthen friendships and emotional connection

The session will also include practical take-home tools families can begin using right away.

One donation can help save multiple lives.

The next community blood drive at the Wyoming County Healthcare Center will be held Monday, June 16 from 1–6 PM, and appointments are now open.

Summer months often bring increased demand and fewer donations, making every donor especially important.

Tonight.
6PM.
Campfire & Coffee at Patriots Cove.
No pressure. No speeches. No pretending you’ve got it all figured out.
Just good people, real conversations, coffee, a campfire, and a place to breathe for a minute.
Veterans. First responders.
Come as you are.
Sometimes healing starts with something as simple as showing up.
Welcome home.

After recording an episode of the Health Matters podcast, WCHC student assistant Aidan stopped by Pathway to Peace & Wellness to learn more about the drums used during the Cancer and Healing workshop series.

Aidan was joined by Diane Ogin and Steve, his job coach, for a hands-on look at the instruments and the role music can play in connection, relaxation, and emotional well-being. The visit was a small but meaningful example of the relationships being built throughout the WCHC facility.

The drums are part of the Cancer and Healing workshop series hosted at WCHC, which offers creative wellness opportunities designed to support healing, self-expression, and community connection. The next session in the series will be held June 10 and will continue exploring the role of creative activities in emotional wellness and support.

Moments like this reflect the collaborative spirit of WCHC’s partners and programs, where education, wellness, and community connection often come together in simple, personal ways.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice made possible the freedoms, opportunities, and communities we cherish today. At the Wyoming County Healthcare Center, we are especially mindful of the many veterans, military families, and community members whose lives have been shaped by service and sacrifice.

As our community gathers with family and friends this holiday weekend, may we also take time to reflect with gratitude on those who never made it home.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
