Community Health Net is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking decades of health and wellness service in downtown Erie and across Erie County.

Leaders gathered on the rooftop of neighboring Great Lakes Insurance along State Street to mark the occasion with a major announcement.

Community Health Net will now offer sports medicine services in addition to its existing medical, vision, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy care.

Dr. Edward Hennis has been selected to lead the new sports medicine services. He will see patients of all ages, from students to senior citizens, at the downtown Erie and Girard locations.

On Monday, July 7, the story of Community Health Net will be featured in the weekly "Giving You the Business" report.

CEO Craig Ulmer will share the organization’s origins and how it has grown over the years.

The report airs on Erie News Now at 5 p.m.
