Pittsburgh Senior News celebrates 30 years of serving the older adult community
Publisher Lynn Webster presents the 2023 Allegheny County Senior Resource Guide to District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala, Jr.
By Lynn Webster To all of our faithful readers: The 2023 Allegheny County Senior Resource Guide is hot off the press and can be found around town or online (it’s free to download at pittsburghseniornews. com). Printed copies can be picked up at most Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh branches, Allegheny County Senior Community Centers, senior apartment complexes and high rises, hospitals, the Allegheny County Executive’s office, and the local offices of all state representatives and senators. I am pleased to announce that Pittsburgh Senior News is celebrating 30 years of
publication in March 2023. I can hardly believe it! It has been an honor to serve the older adult community (and those love and care for them) in Allegheny County, Beaver County and (in past years) Butler County. Senior News started with humble beginnings.We have profiled hundreds of older adults and reported on all the major news affecting the senior population in various sectors—including healthcare and wellness, community initiatives and events, pertinent government programs, local culture and entertainment, educational opportunities for older adults, and much more.
In 1997, we launched the Allegheny County Senior Resource Guide and in 2000 and 2008, published similar guides in Beaver and Butler counties. We are very proud of these guides and how they serve as important, “go to” resources for local folks. We hear repeatedly how much time, effort and money it has saved residents who are in need of support services, community resources, senior housing and transportation, and more. I’d like to a extend special thanks to the Allegheny County Department of Human Services / Area Agency on Aging and Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald for their generous and steadfast support over the years, as well as our loyal advertisers and the staff that assists with writing, reporting and fact-checking the information in our PSN issues and guides. I could not do this without you. Join me in celebrating this momentous anniversary—I can say that in today’s media age, 30 years of publication is no small feat and I don’t take this privilege lightly.
