Coverage shows what we already know: this closure creates a serious gap in healthcare access for our community. (CBS News)
But we are not done.
Now that AHN has taken over, the future of this facility is in their hands — and we must make it clear: Kennedy must be reopened. Healthcare is still not accessible in our area, and this is a critical moment to demand action.
We need everyone to step up:
- Contact AHN and demand a plan for Kennedy
- Contact Heritage Valley leadership
- Contact local, state, and federal representatives
- Continue sharing this petition and raising awareness
If Kennedy can be used for filming, it can be reopened to serve patients.
Heritage Valley Kennedy is not outdated or unusable — it has been renovated and includes infrastructure that nearby facilities do not. Kennedy has a heliport. Sewickley does not. Kennedy is equipped and capable of serving our community again.
This is about access. This is about safety. This is about lives.
We’ve made progress — but we need to be louder. Keep sharing. Keep contacting. Keep fighting for Kennedy.
