It will inspire viewers to familiarize themselves and visit more of the Lehigh Valley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am excited to continue our partnership with The PEAK TV with PEAK at the Valley,\u201d says Harrar. \u201cSummer is the perfect time to explore Lehigh Valley and engage with places you might drive by daily. It\u2019s a privilege to show off these special spots and help Lehigh Valley natives create new experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hosted by author Chaz Hayden, Front Row with Chaz, the newest addition to The PEAK TV\u2019s season 22, will highlight accessibility at various locations throughout the Lehigh Valley. Hayden, born with a disability called spinal muscular atrophy, has experience exploring the Lehigh Valley with his wheelchair. He will give viewers a front-row seat to all of Lehigh Valley\u2019s most fun, accessible spots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll be taking viewers behind the scenes at different venues, events, and businesses in the segment, Front Row with Chaz, and will call out accessibility in the Lehigh Valley,\u201d says Hayden. &#8220;People with disabilities often don&#8217;t venture out because we don&#8217;t always know what&#8217;s accessible or if we can have a good experience. I&#8217;m excited to shine a spotlight on the Lehigh Valley spots that have put in the work to allow everyone to enjoy their space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new season will also feature a reworked iteration of Voices of the Valley, hosted by ASR\u2019s very own Sara Viteri. The new version will feature Viteri diving deep with Lehigh Valley business owners, discussing their work, products, services, and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSara is the perfect fit for our new Voices of the Valley segment,\u201d says Ashley Russo, host of The PEAK TV and president and owner of ASR. \u201cHer impressive hosting experience shows on camera, and her excitement about the Lehigh Valley translates to viewers, encouraging their enthusiasm, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After their initial airing, each episode will be posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/%40ThePEAKTV\"><u>YouTube<\/u><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepeaktv.com\/episodes\"><u>The PEAK TV\u2019s website<\/u><\/a> for future viewing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About St. Luke\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1872, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slhn.org\/\"><strong>St. Luke\u2019s University Health Network<\/strong><\/a> (SLUHN) is a fully integrated, regional, non-profit network of more than 16,000 employees providing services at 14 campuses and 300+<\/p>\n<p>outpatient sites.
