    The South Side Neighborhood Association is very excited to introduce new board member Dr Coralee Toal.
    Coralee moved to Pittsburgh in 2018 from Oklahoma and then to the South Side Slopes in 2020. Coralee is an OB/GYN for Magee hospital and enjoys biking, skiing, and balloon arch making. She lives in the Slopes with her husband, Austin, and their rescue dog Collins.
    You’ll find Coralee walking around the neighborhood with her pup and a trash bag, as she believes in keeping the streets clean.
    So please join us in welcoming this incredible neighbor to our board!
