Honorable But Broke: EMS in Crisis – Free Movie Event

At the Dietrich Theater
Wednesday, September 10 at 1 p.m. & 7 p.m.
Concession sponsored by: Wyoming County Commissioners
Event sponsored by: Emergency Medical Servies of Northeastern Pennsylvania, Dietrich Theater and Wyoming County Healthcare Center
When seconds count, what happens when help can’t come?
Emergency Medical Services in Wyoming County are under growing strain. With too few responders, longer transport times, and an aging population that needs more frequent, complex care, the system is stretched thin. At the same time, EMS agencies lose money on nearly every call – they are only reimbursed when a patient is transported, and even then the rates rarely cover the true costs of care. Honorable But Broken is a powerful documentary that gives voice to the paramedics and EMTs on the front lines – and the communities fighting to keep them. Learn what is at stake. Don’t miss this important event. All residents, parents, business owners, and municipal leaders are encouraged to attend. Local guest presenters will share what is happening right here in Wyoming County – and how you can be part of the solution. Tickets are available at the Dietrich ticket booth while they last. 

Admission: Admission, small popcorn and small soda free to all who attend!

Lessons Beyond the Horizon: An Appalachian Trail Presentation and Book Signing Event

At the Dietrich Theater in downtown Tunkhannock
In 2022, Jeff Mitchell thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail’s 2,195 miles from Georgia to Maine. Along the way, he witnessed amazing landscapes and met incredible people who restored his faith. The Appalachian Trail is a trail of people and they taught Jeff lessons about himself and the world around him. This year, Jeff published Lessons Beyond the Horizon, a book about his experiences on the trail. During this presentation, Jeff will share his journey with photos of the trail’s natural beauty and people. He will tell stories about these people, most of them complete strangers, who inspired and motivated him. In our divided times, they were beacons of kindness and generosity. Jeff will be available to sign copies of Lessons Beyond the Horizon, which can be purchased on Amazon.com. A limited number of copies will also be for sale at the Dietrich Theater.

Admission: Free
