Recently, I met with a group of graduate students earning their master’s in Occupational Therapy at Temple University. As occupational therapists, these students play a critical role in client education, pain management and community reintegration. We discussed the opioid crisis and recent legislation passed in Harrisburg, as well as various community initiatives.

I was pleased to attend Royersford Emergency Services Night on Oct. 10. It was a great opportunity for people to come out and interact with fire fighters, police officers and first responders. There were demonstrations and information on fire safety, activities for the kids and vendors. Thanks to Mayor Jenna Antoniewicz and all of the volunteers for organizing this event.
