A heartfelt thank you goes to Dr. Matthew Cindric, Allison Zamerowski, CRNP, the Commonwealth Health Physician Network clinics, and the dedicated medical staff at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and Regional Hospital of Scranton, as well as all Commonwealth Health staff members, for their generous contributions to this important initiative.
