At a boxing gym in Hampton, some of the fighters are part of a program for people with Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative condition. Boxing is one of the most popular forms of exercise shown to delay the disease’s progression. Find out more about the program.

Also, this week, we wrote about how people receiving medications for opioid use disorder in the Allegheny County Jail need continuity of care when they are released. We reported that Hazelwood could get a grocery store if funding comes through and Bakery Square's expansion depends on housing vouchers.

Finally, we published a public-service guide with resources and tips for residents looking to be active while aging. Rebecca Deurlein wrote a first-person essay about her return to her home of Pittsburgh after 40 years and what she missed.
