Event – Doz World Matter

UPMC is offering free carpal tunnel screenings for individuals with wrist numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain on March 13, 2025 on the campus of UPMC West Shore at 2005 Technology Pkwy., Suite 255, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050.

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs in one to five percent of the population and is more likely to occur in women and people between the ages of 40 and 60. When left untreated, the condition can cause a decreased quality of life due to pain and an inability to hold everyday items such as steering wheels or phones.

The event runs between 4 and 6 p.m. and will feature UPMC neurosurgeon Dr. John Braca, plastic surgeon Dr. Peter Wallick, and sports medicine specialist Dr. Mark Lavallee. Participants will learn about UPMC’s treatment options, including a new ultrasound guided, minimally invasive procedure. Registration is required.

The Meritus Health Foundation celebrated a successful evening at their annual Crystal Ball, held to support the organization’s mission of providing top-tier healthcare and medical education in the community. The event, which took place at the new Meritus School of Osteopathic Medicine, attracted over 200 guests.

Attendees had the opportunity to tour the new facility, while enjoying a selection of fine foods and desserts prepared by Chef Joe and the Nutrition Services team. The event’s success was bolstered by the generous contributions of sponsors and participants, with early estimates indicating that nearly $75,000 was raised during the gala.

The funds raised at the Crystal Ball are earmarked to enhance the healthcare services and educational programs offered by Meritus Health, ensuring continued excellence in serving the community’s needs.
