The Wright Center for Community Health hosted its third annual Caring Hearts Panel Discussion and Dinner on Saturday, April 6 at Genetti Manor, Dickson City. The event, which aimed to build a strong community network for patients and families, as well as generate an informative and educational conversation, was chaired by Clemens Schirmer, MD, Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. Dr. Schirmer was joined in a panel discussion by Linda Thomas-Hemak, MD, The Wright Center for Community Health; Lear Von Koch, MD, Lear Von Koch & Associates; Michael Wolk, MD, Allied Services; Uzzal Roy, MD, Geisinger Community Medical Center; Gregory Weiner, MD, Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center; and Alessandro Smeraldi, MD, Geisinger Community Medical Center.

Keynote speaker Charlie Hemak shared a powerful, yet lighthearted patient perspective with event attendees. Charlie recently experienced what could have been a debilitating and devastating stroke. Fortunately, he received coordinated care from Geisinger Wyoming Valley and The Wright Center for Community Health and has made a full recovery.

Through sponsor support, the event raised funds for The Wright Center for Community Health’s “Driving Better Health Initiative” to help patients and their families overcome care gaps, specifically lack of transportation.
