Harrisburg
The City of Harrisburg, Peyton Walker Foundation, and UPMC are proudly partnering in support of Minutes Matter, a UPMC community initiative. The partnership’s goal is to provide Harrisburg and neighboring communities with lifesaving emergency education and information related to cardiac events, overdoses, uncontrolled bleeding, and mental health.
Minutes Matter officially launched in Harrisburg during a press conference on June 12, 2023, with Harrisburg’s mayor, Wanda R. D. Williams.
