HAP’s Measles Preparedness and Response Sharing Series brings together hospital professionals to share real-world experiences, discuss emerging challenges, and exchange practical approaches to protecting patients, staff, and communities.

HAP’s Caring for the Commonwealth series showcases the innovative programs led by Pennsylvania hospitals and health systems—and, most importantly, the difference they make for communities. The series brings these stories to life, highlighting how our members are improving health and creating stronger, healthier communities.

For WellSpan, addressing food insecurity means looking beyond the walls of the health care system and into the communities it serves. The hospital partnered with an 11-acre local farm to improve access to nutritious food while supporting employees, educating children and helping address one of the most fundamental drivers of health: having enough healthy food to eat.

Hospitals across Pennsylvania are strengthening their preparedness for measles through proactive planning, coordinated response strategies, and collaboration across health care organizations.
