| Article | PHILADELPHIA—Inner-city teenagers were given a boost by local professionals including members of INSTALL Philadelphia & Vicinity who donated time and materials to build the Allied Health High School. This facility will host comprehensive training for inner-city youngsters interested in a healthcare career. The goal of the project is to create a pool of skilled local residents that can staff facilities by Crozer-Keystone Health System. Local flooring contractor Facility Services Group donated all the floor covering while INSTALL Philadelphia & Vicinity, part of the Metropolitan Regional Council of Carpenters, provided hundreds of hours of manpower to install the products. “This is an excellent opportunity to support the community,” said Charlie Wills, owner of Facility Services. “Our company benefits from well-trained flooring professionals from the INSTALL program, and I believe the community will likewise benefit from well-trained healthcare professionals from the Allied Health High School.” Patrick McGinley, coordinator of the INSTALL Philadelphia program, added, “INSTALL professionals don’t work on a job site until they prove their competence, and when we learned of the same high standards the Allied High School will mandate, we knew our efforts to get the facility up and running will pay off for the community— much like our training pays off for building owners who have floors installed by our members.” For more information about INSTALL, call 215.582.4108. |
