WILKES-BARRE The Northeastern Pennsylvania Health Care Foundation honored two students Wednesday who are the first recipients of scholarships to the Commonwealth Medical College in Scranton through a scholars program.

The Northeastern Pennsylvania Health Care Foundation committed to $3.2 million in multi-year scholarship support to create a scholars program at the Commonwealth Medical College.

The program enables students from Luzerne, Lackawanna and Wyoming Counties who want to practice medicine in Northeastern Pennsylvania to receive scholarship support while attending the medical college.

Laura Ducceschi, president and CEO of the Scranton Area Foundation and administrator of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Health Care Foundation, said they hope the scholars program will make a significant impact on “the lives of the very worthy, very excellent students who have been selected as scholars and will be selected for the next 11 years.”

The Northeastern Pennsylvania Health Care Foundation was established in 2011 following the sale of Mercy Hospital in Scranton.

Its mission is to function as a public foundation that supports health care needs such as education, community wellness, payment for medical care of the uninsured and under-insured and to improve the physical, mental, and social well-being of the residents of Lackawanna, Luzerne and Wyoming counties.

Adult obesity remains a challenge for counties in the tri-states, while the number of uninsured individuals is either flat or decreasing throughout the area, according to the 2016 County Health Rankings.

The rankings, annually assembled by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, compare health outcomes among counties in a state by measuring how long people live and how healthy they feel while alive.

Dubuque County ranked 16th out of Iowa’s 99 counties, a slight drop since 2015, when the county ranked 12th.

Jo Daviess County is faring better than any other county in the area, ranking 5th of 102 Illinois counties for health outcomes.

Lori Stangl, director of clinical services for the Jo Daviess County Health Department, pointed to her county’s effort to track body-mass indices among school children.

For example, the data for Dubuque County show about 28 percent of the county’s adults are obese, as of 2012.

Of Iowa’s 99 counties, Clayton County improved to 26th place from 29th in 2015, which was a substantial improvement over 2014, when the county ranked 54th.

The county ranked 44th of 99 counties in 2014.

Lafayette County, Wis., improved to 14th out of 72 counties, according to the rankings. That’s an improvement since 2015, when the county ranked 18th, and well above 2014, when the county ranked 31st.

Grant County Health Department Director Jeff Kindrai said the county, as with all in the region, still struggles with adult obesity and sexually transmitted infections.
