On Wednesday, the Independent Health Foundation and the West Herr Auto Group announced a partnership to help bring health education, screenings, and resources into traditionally underserved communities across Western New York
The announcement comes one day after the U.S. Census Bureau released its latest numbers on poverty, which shows the poverty rate in 2022 rose to 12.4 percent, nearly a 5% increase from 2021, which is the largest one-year jump on record according to The New York Times
