S&T Bank, Evergreen Insurance Lend Support To Latrobe Hospital Emergency Department Project

In keeping with its mission of diligently serving the community with integrity and pride, S&T Bank, along with its subsidiary Evergreen Insurance Associates, LLC, has donated $100,000 toward the Latrobe Hospital Emergency Department renovation project.

Presenting the check to the Latrobe Area Hospital Charitable Foundation, bank President Todd D. Brice noted the importance of participating in community life as a good corporate citizen.

Since 2004, we have opened two banks in the Latrobe area and felt that with this presence, we needed to demonstrate our support for the community in which we do business, said Brice. Thanks to Joe Imler, president of Evergreen Insurance and a board member for Excela Health, we were introduced to the Latrobe Hospital Emergency Department project and learned first-hand about its vital importance and outstanding capabilities. It was then our pleasure to get involved, particularly with a project that affects so many in the Latrobe community and surrounding areas.

On hand for the presentation were James McHugh, chairman, Excela Health board of trustees; Sandra S. Mellon, vice chairperson, LAH Charitable Foundation board of directors and emergency department fund-raising project co-chair; Douglas A. Clark, president, Excela Health; John R. Mazero, MD, president, LAH Charitable Foundation; Norma Samide, interim director, LAH Charitable Foundation; Brice, and Pam Price, vice president, retail sales  Latrobe, S&T Bank.

We were looking for a visible project where we could show our commitment to the people of Latrobe, explained Price. We look at opportunities in which we can serve our communities and got behind this project, which is a state-of-the-art service where people can feel secure and comforted at a time that can be stressful and traumatic.

We are proud to welcome S&T Bank as a donor and partner in our quest to advance the medical capabilities of our local hospital, noted Dr. Mazero. At the same time, we heartily thank Joe Imler and Evergreen Insurance, who have long been supporters of the foundation and its efforts to continually heighten the quality of care offered at Latrobe. Our gratitude extends to both who know the value of top quality medical care offered where its needed, locally.

The foundation is nearing its goal of raising $4.5 million for the Emergency Department project. For more information about the Latrobe Area Hospital Charitable Foundation or to make a contribution toward the Emergency Department project, call the foundation office, 724-537-1925.
