A good neighbor in Western PA for over 50 years, Adagio Health offers health, wellness, and nutrition services and support. The nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization’s outreach now includes 62 counties across the state with care and services for approximately 115,000 patients and families. Among the programs and services provided by Adagio Health and its extensive network of providers and partners:
- Reproductive health care services and adult preventive care including vaccines and chronic disease screenings provided at low or no cost to approximately 35,000 patients in western Pennsylvania.
- Breast and cervical cancer screening services to nearly 6,000 patients in 62 counties across the Commonwealth.
- A WIC program for 9,000 parents, caregivers, and young children in rural western Pennsylvania.
- A nutrition education program for more than 50,000 Pennsylvanians – young children, teens, adults, and seniors.
- Food Cupboards that supply nutritious food to about 1,000 Adagio Health patients and clients in immediate need (followed by referrals and connections to local food banks).
- A Tobacco Prevention and Control program that serves approximately 3,700 adults and teens in western PA.
- Education services focused on understanding reproductive health, preventing unplanned pregnancies, and making healthy lifestyle choices for roughly 2,000 students. The services are evidence-informed, age-appropriate, and delivered one-on-one and in group and classroom settings.
Adagio Health is committed to providing safe, compassionate care to diverse populations with unique needs, including members of LGBTQIA communities, immigrants, and women who have served in the military.
In 2022, Adagio Health commissioned the RAND Corporation to complete a first-of-its-kind needs assessment of women veterans in western PA, with a full report of the findings published in March 2023.
Services at Adagio Health are designed to support individual patients and clients – and their families and communities. Studies show a woman with access to quality healthcare and affordable contraception is more likely to, on her own timeline, complete her education, get and keep a good job, financially support herself and her family, and invest in her children’s future.
The organization serves diverse individuals from all socioeconomic backgrounds throughout western Pennsylvania and beyond. New programs include “Healthy Women For Life” — an Adagio Health initiative funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. Services provided as part of this project are free to eligible patients. Project goals are intended to advance accessible and inclusive women’s health care, especially for pregnant and parenting women. Additionally, with funding from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, Adagio Health is leading a multi-county consortium focused on the prevention of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS).
Adagio Health provides all its services through state and Federal government funding, as well as local foundation partners and partnerships with a variety of community organizations and other funders.
