Health resource center open in Darlington

A Health Resource Center for residents of Beaver and Lawrence counties who have health concerns or other questions following the train derailment on Feb. 3 in East Palestine, Ohio, has already helped to connect 200 residents with resources and services in just the first two days.

A Thursday news release from the Department of Health said the center, opened in Darlington Township, Beaver County, on Feb. 28, saw people inquire about Department of Environmental Protection consultation, medical evaluations, general public health information and support with the Assessment of Chemical Exposure surveys.

Staff from the health department, along with the Department of Agriculture, DEP and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency are also on site answering residents’ questions about their health, pets, farm animals, and air and water quality testing.

The Health Resource Center is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays through March 10 at the Darlington Township Building, 3590 Darlington Road.

Additional available services include access to health care providers from DOH, the Primary Health Network, Beaver County Behavioral Health Services and local pastoral care services.
