As volunteers, The Men of Chester County Hospital recognize the importance of our community hospital's mission to provide services to meet the changing needs of those it serves. The Men of Chester County Hospital was founded on the idea that it is important to maintain the hospital's tradition of service begun in 1892. Volunteering for the hospital is an important way to give back to your community. This group holds as its purpose fundraising and friend-raising by way of service projects. All of the funds raised for the hospital by way of the Men of Chester County Hospital stay in the community to provide service to all members of the neighborhood.
History

Many of the men are former business owners, corporate and academic retirees, and members of the local business community.
