The new medical suite will include a reception and waiting area,
exam room, medical office, restrooms and an area for physical
therapy. The stand-alone facility will be available for residents
and can also be accessed by residents of the local community,
allowing Parkside Manor to further support the community and help
improve access to care.
“This investment by UnitedHealthcare will bring important
support services to the residents of Parkside Manor and the
surrounding community,” said Michelle Norris, president of National
Church Residences Investment Corp. “The addition of an onsite
medical suite brings a renewed focus to health and wellness that
will improve access to care.”
The donation comes following the release of United Health
Foundation’s America’s Health Rankings® Senior Report showing
Pennsylvania dropped from 22nd to 25th in the nation for overall
senior care, with a high prevalence of obesity, physical
inactivity, smoking and preventable hospitalizations, among other
measures.
National Church Residences, an innovative leader in integrating
housing, health care and other supportive services for seniors,
families and others in need, owns and manages Parkside Manor, and
is overseeing a major renovation project of the facility.
The renovations mark Parkside Manor’s first significant upgrade
since it opened in 1982 and includes renovating all of the
apartment units, and adding a fitness center, computer room,
community kitchen, library and game room. The renovations and new
medical suite will be completed in June.
“United Healthcare’s partnership with National Church Residences
will help improve access to care for at-risk populations,
particularly among seniors, who often face greater barriers to
medical services,” said State Representative Daniel Deasy, who
participated in the announcement and hardhat tour. “I applaud the
innovation and commitment to bring more support services to the
Pittsburgh community.”
UnitedHealthcare’s donation to National Church Residences aligns
with its goal of providing seniors, low-income individuals and
families with access to essential social, medical and behavioral
services that can have a significant impact on health and quality
of life.
“We are honored to partner with National Church Residences to
support this new medical suite that will improve access to care and
improve services that will help make it easier for people to live
healthier lives,” said Allison Davenport, CEO of UnitedHealthcare
Community Plan of Pennsylvania.
