Pennsylvania parents and families who have lost loved ones to drug overdoses and addiction say there’s a need for grief support services specifically tailored to this kind of loss. They’re calling on county and state agencies to use settlement money won in national lawsuits against opioid manufacturing companies to fund grief programs.

Penn State’s president was the target of pointed questions during a state House appropriations hearing Wednesday. It comes as the university moves forward with plans to close seven campuses including York and Mont Alto.

A U.S. Secret Service police officer is charged with sending sexually explicit text messages, photos and videos to a Lancaster County girl, according to police.

Cleanup continues following a massive fire at a York County salvage company, two weeks ago.

PA Headlines | March 13 | Advocates call for statewide grief program, using Pa.’s opioid settlement money.

A Cumberland County food manufacturing facility is expanding. Schreiber Foods, located in Shippensburg, announced Tuesday it's embarking on a nearly $133 million expansion at its yogurt and cream cheese plant.

Nearly half of the state’s rural counties do not have hospitals with labor and delivery units, according to the Center for Rural Pennsylvania. This reflects a nationwide trend of hospitals closing specialized service lines such as obstetrics.

Every year, PA One Book encourages reading by selecting a children's book to help create a shared reading experience statewide. We share this year’s selection.

Police in Carlisle continue to investigate the distribution of white supremacist propaganda last weekend.

The FBI found explosive residue in a Bucks County storage unit after two men were charged with bringing homemade bombs to a protest outside the home of New York City’s mayor.

Pennsylvania is one of only eight states with a closed primary system. That means only voters registered as Democrats or Republicans can cast ballots in their respective parties' spring elections. Advocates hope to open those primaries up to Pennsylvania's unaffiliated voters - a group that numbers more than one million.
