On August 15, 2024, the Center for Population Health held its annual Community Health and Human Services Summit at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown campus. The video above shows a talk by Emily Lebo of the office of Health Equity. She reviews the health statistics for the area and health priorities at the health summit.
| Group | 2016-2018 | 2017-2019 | 2018-2020 | 2019-2021 |
| Overall | 75.8 | 76.1 | 75.8 | 74.9 |
| White | 76.2 | 76.4 | 76.1 | 75.3 |
| African American | 65.6 | 67.3 | 66.9 | 63.7 |
Not mentioned in her talk were health disparities by race. These disparities are in the related posts at the bottom of the post. The table above shows disparities in life expectancy by race in Cambria County. Lebo did talk about advisory groups to address health priorities discussed at the health summit.
Lebo did give permission to make her talk public. The people of the Center for Population Health told me to get permission from participants in each talk before posting it on this site. This is whether it is an individual talk or a panel discussion.
Apparently, some summit participants are concerned that some filmmakers in the area would use the footage to insinuate that there are sinister plots going on here in town. They can always refer back to the actual footage to refute their claims. No artificial intelligence or special graphics are used to misconstrue what is said on this site. The video above is an example of the type of video that they are concerned about.
Areas covered by the summit are in the map of the zip codes. Some of these zip codes straddle the surrounding counties of Bedford, Blair, Clearfield, Indiana and Fayette. Those who gave permission will be posted.
