When cancer is the diagnosis, The Chester County Hospital stands ready to support our patients with the highest level of diagnosis, treatment and care. Our comprehensive services are complemented by the care and support provided by our Cancer Care Coordinators and various support groups.

The support that is provided to our patients is a team effort. Funds are raised throughout the year to provide ancillary services to cancer patients in need. These services include, among others, massages, transportation, and uncovered treatments. The funds are raised through bike rides, dinner dances, golf outings, wine festivals and many other organized events throughout the year.
