Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative Supports Jewish Community Center Overnight Camp Reopening

The Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative (PRHI) has provided coaching support to the Jewish Community Center of Pittsburgh (JCC) as they plan to reopen their Emma Kaufmann overnight camp in Morgantown, WV this summer. PRHI Manager, Lean Healthcare Strategy and Implementation Jennifer Condel met with Camp Director, Aaron Cantor, Assistant Director, Brooks Weaver, and Chief Program Officer, Jason Kunzman, to review the programming structure and playbook used to communicate expectations and safety protocols to parents, and operational guidelines for JCC overnight camp staff. Parents were reported to have responded positively to the playbook, and as of May, the overnight camp registration grew by 200+ registrations, exceed 2019's registration numbers, and now has a waiting list of several dozen campers.
