Bridging the gap between poverty and opportunity, the FLC works to connect needy families to health care and health awareness. The Family Life Center collaborates with the local hospital system and the public health department to provide annual screenings, flu vaccines and community outreach to individuals who do not have insurance or are under-insured. Partnering with a local food pantry, the Family Life Center utilizes the time where needy families are waiting in line to receive food, to assess their health care needs. Education in the areas of health literacy and offerings for free screenings are provided on–site. Educational topics include breast health care, diabetes self-care management, nutrition, hypertension and asthma education for children.

This Program promotes socialization skills, self awareness and well-being for children and families by promoting healthy lifestyles. Sponsored trips included free transportation to and from events and provision of tickets for admission. Recreational events sponsored included visits to the Carnegie Science Center, Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Games and local museums. Meal preparation instruction classes were also provided by a certified chef.
