Along with showing appreciation for these two doctors, it's a time to recognize all staff for their commitment and dedication to patients.
'I work in the emergency room which can be very challenging at times. Seems like you get more complaints than you do compliments so it's really nice every once in a while to get recognized for the work that you do,' Dr. Havko said.
The charities the honorees chose were Saint Paul's Free Clinic and the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwestern Pennsylvania.

Second Harvest Food Bank launches ‘Summer Food Service Program' in Greater New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Second Harvest Food Bank kicked off its Summer Food Service Program on Monday morning. The food bank, located on Edwards Avenue, aims to provide meals during the summer months that students are usually provided during the school year. Breakfasts and lunches are prepared for more than 3,000 children in the area. New Orleans' French Market will celebrate annual Creole Tomato Festival John Sillars, Chief Strategy Officer at Second Harvest, says that the schools are helping to cover costs of the feeding program. However, the New Orleans community also plays a large part in helping the program come to life. 'This is a program where we do get compensated partially by the Department of Education, but we do need community support to keep it going because it doesn't cover the entire cost,' Sillars said. 'There is a fundraising gap that we need, and we depend on the community to close that gap.' There are currently 72 summer feeding sites in South Louisiana, the majority being in the Greater New Orleans area. Those interested in donating their time or money to Second Harvest Food Bank can visit the Second Harvest auto repair chain to close 145 stores nationwide Gulf policymakers detail efforts to brace for 2025 hurricanes Popeyes takes a dig at McDonald's with newest menu item Wanted: Man threatens to kill entire family if they call police 2 rescued after plane crashes into ocean off coast of Connecticut Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Erie community rallies behind woman with cancer
Lisa Mills had been working as an Erie County corrections officer for over 25 years, when just weeks ago, she was met with the unthinkable. 'I had to spend my 57th birthday in the hospital in St. Vincent's from March 11th to the 18th, and they told me the day that I got discharged that I had pancreatic adenocarcinoma stage 4 aggressive terminal, so that just blew me out of the water,' said Lisa Mills, Erie County Prison Correctional Officer. Mills, also known as 'Big Momma,' said she's keeping a positive mind about the Sunday, the Erie community came to the Perry Hiway Hose Company on Oliver Road to raise money for her treatment and support the 'Big Momma' that's always looked out for them. Second Harvest Food Bank hosts 34th annual Break Box Awards 'Everybody calls me 'Big Momma' at work because I'm everybody's big momma. Everybody loves me, and everybody comes to me with all their problems, and I try to help solve them. So, we have a good time at work some days, but some days are crazy, but all in all, I wouldn't trade it for anything,' said Mills. The fundraiser gave supporters a variety of ways to donate to Mills, such as basket raffles, t-shirt sales, 50/50 raffles, food and drink sales, and a 'pie-in-the-face' competition, where Mills' coworkers faced off to raise the most money with the winner getting a pie to the face. 'She makes a difference because she loves her job. I have never seen her upset at work, she likes to help out the inmates, and it's a very tough job to be in,' said Douglas Patterson, event organizer and Mills' co-worker. Erie Cancer Wellness Center brings attention to Colon Cancer Awareness Month Patterson said the fundraiser couldn't have been possible without all of their sponsors, raffle donations and overall support from the Erie community. Coming up next Big Momma will be heading to Texas to try and qualify for clinical trials, and she says she is beyond grateful for the love and support. 'I know God has the last say, and hey, I think I'm going to be alright,' said Mills. If you would like to donate to Mills and her battle against cancer, you can contact Douglas Patterson at 814-806-4618 or dpatterson004@ You can also use Cashapp to pay Mills directly at '$blackjackdiva'. Patterson says you can also send donations in lieu of Mills to the Erie County Prison. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
