Chester County Hospital Community Benefit Report 2017

2017 Community Benefit Report. 

"YOU HAVE TWO HANDS; ONE TO HELP YOURSELF, THE SECOND TO HELP OTHERS." -Audrey Hepburn 

2017 Chester County Hospital Community Benefit ReportCHESTER COUNTY HOSPITAL IS PART OF AN ONGOING COLLABORATIVE PLANNING EFFORT with 34 other locally focused organizations to help Chester County become a community in which all individuals can be healthy and empowered to manage their health. Separately, each of the 35 group members had its own vision and approach, whether it is health care, social services, community-driven funding, faith-based missions or government action. The potential of our positive impact is amplified when we work together. Collectively, we can all reach a broader number of residents and affect greater change when we maximize the strengths and services that make us each unique. This process of teamwork is our RoadMAPP to Health: A Comprehensive Health Assessment for Chester County. From this effort came common goals, fresh tasks and creative opportunities. Chester County Hospital's Community Benefit Report 2017 - Health Empowerment Partnerships - shares a few of the ways we are partnering with other local organizations to create new possibilities for wellness and good health among our neighbors of Chester County.
