This global health crisis has also caused an economic crisis for some families in the communities that we serve. There are incredible organizations ready to assist with urgent needs such as housing, utilities, medical supplies, government benefits, and legal services. But knowing where to go for help is hard. Now, you can ask Aunt Bertha.

Highmark, Allegheny Health Network and Gateway Health have teamed up to launch a free, online social care network called Aunt Bertha. Through this platform, customers and broader communities in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Delaware can access trusted, verified and community-based programs that address social determinants of health. Users will also be able to receive and track referrals from participating community and healthcare organizations.

And these won’t be our last steps. We’ll be here for our communities—and you—throughout and beyond this crisis.
