The Chester County Board of Commissioners recognized Chester County Hospital as United Way of Chester County's recipient of the Corporate Partner of the Year award for most exemplifying the United Way's mission and best engaging its employees during its workplace campaign. Taylor Lopolito, Talent Acquisition Specialist at Chester County Hospital and the hospital's United Way Chair 2014-2015, said, "This recognition and the success of our campaign is so important to the hospital because it reinforces our commitment to serving the community to the best of our ability."
According to the official citation from the Commissioners, "Chester County Hospital boasted their most successful campaign year, drawing on the energy and varied talents of a new first year Campaign Chair and an enthusiastic campaign team."
Contributions increased an unprecedented 42 percent with employee participation doubling the number of donors over the previous year's already highly successful campaign. Special events and organized raffles generated excitement and awareness about the campaign. Chester County Hospital sold pretzels to engage potential donors in learning more about how their dollars improved Chester County, and designed and printed their own personalized posters, strategically placed throughout the hospital, to maintain campaign awareness and education."
The Board of Commissioners congratulated the leadership and employees on this remarkable achievement, and thanked the hospital for its dedication to corporate generosity and community involvement.
