Healing Veterans Through Nature and Community | Harrisburg News

Aimee Morris, a former Marine and nurse, turns her family’s 43-acre York County farm into a healing sanctuary for veterans through Glenn Hope Care Farm—offering yoga, woodworking, gardening, and therapy rooted in nature and community. Nominated for PA Local Heroes, Morris and her team welcome vets through VA referrals, personal connections, or direct sign-ups, ensuring accessibility regardless of physical limitations. Veteran Devin Fink, injured in an IED blast, credits the farm with accelerating his recovery and giving him purpose—so much so he launched his own nonprofit training service dogs. Morris is moved by veterans’ transformations, seeing the farm’s success in its collaborative, organic healing model that outpaces institutional care, while also hosting family-friendly events to broaden its impact.

Pennsylvania Boosts Child Death Review Funding | Harrisburg News

Pennsylvania’s Child Death Review program, long underfunded, gets a crucial $242K boost this year — a leap from zero — to help counties analyze young deaths and prevent future tragedies, though advocates say it’s still far short of the $2.5M governor proposed. With local teams often volunteering their time, only half of child death cases since 2020 have been reviewed. State officials plan to use the funds to hire staff, improve data collection, and turn medical records into actionable insights — all while navigating a divided government. Experts also call for regional collaboration and smarter spending to ensure accountability and truly protect Pennsylvania’s children.
