AHN Saint Vincent hosts graduation for Project SEARCH participants
It was a celebration of hard work and dedication. Friday afternoon, AHN Saint Vincent held a graduation ceremony for students who participated in Project SEARCH. Project SEARCH provides education and training for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Saint Vincent's program began five years ago in collaboration with the Erie School District and Barber National Institute, with support from the county and state. The students rotated around hospital departments in addition to receiving classroom lessons. ECGRA invests in early childhood education, 59 centers awarded ARPA grants Graduate Marcellus Mitchell hopes to one day work in a nursing home. 'I've been doing some training, shadowing with some staff. It's been very eye-opening and great for confidence-building, really. I've gone to places I never thought I would be,' said Mitchell. 'Ah, it's amazing! This group, especially, we watched them grow from high school students into productive adults. They have been amazing. You see them gain skills that they didn't even know they had,' said Bria Montigny, Project SEARCH skills instructor. Three of the graduates have already been hired at AHN St. Vincent, and two others have received employment elsewhere. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Charity presents adaptive bikes to Erie children
Adaptive bikes were presented to Erie children in an effort to help them get outside and live an active life. Variety, the children's charity at AHN Saint Vincent, presented 13 bikes on Tuesday. PA Soldiers and Sailors Home recognizes National Medal of Honor Day The charity offers life-changing adaptive equipment through their three core programs — My Bike, My Stroller and My Voice. The chief executive officer, Tom Baker, said the bikes are provided to children who were told they would not have the opportunity to ride a bike for most of their lives. Local high school students learn valuable financial literacy skills 'For the first time to ride their bike with their brothers and sisters around the neighborhood, they're going to be able to ride a bike with neighbors and really get to enjoy a fully inclusive kind together life, and that's what it's all about,' said Baker. A parade took place at the end of the presentation, allowing the children to try out their new rides. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
