The Beverage Brigade is a critical initiative to address the residents overall health with regular hydration opportunities. Volunteers assist staff at transporting a hydration cart from unit to unit and providing every resident with the opportunity to remain hydrated. In addition to improving our residents overall health with proper hydration, it also provides our resident with vital social interaction and human contact.
Volunteers must be vaccinated for Covid-19 and complete orientation training with Volunteer Services.

Mission Statement
To provide quality healthcare to Pennsylvania Veterans and spouses. A holistic approach guides specially trained staff in care, preventative and rehabilitative services while encouraging resident’s self-choice, well-being, and dignity.
Description
Situated less than 10 miles from downtown Pittsburgh in Allegheny County, the Southwestern Veterans’ Center (SWVC) is far enough from the city that residents can enjoy a quiet, tranquil living, but is only a short drive away from all the history, culture and entertainment a large city has to offer.
Before ever setting foot into the home visitors are greeted by an island of American flags prominently flying high at the main entrance as if they are waving and welcoming veterans and their families. The patriotic feel continues throughout the inside of the home, highlighted by a hallway lined by military photos and a Purple Heart mural in the activities room that reminds everyone that heroes live here.
Patriotic symbols are not the only way our residents are honored. SWVC provides exceptional care for its residents thanks to a professional staff -- many of whom are veterans -- who proudly come to work each day excited and are honored to take care of true American heroes. Visits to the home by current service members and from representatives of local veteran service organizations are very common and provide a constant reminder that our residents are thought about often throughout the Pittsburgh community.
