After a long winter and three years into a pandemic, we continue to work our way back to some kind of post-COVID "new" normal.

As we do, we navigate the significant added challenge of two local hospitals – one with an inpatient psych unit - closing. A surge in COVID-19 before spring, caused by the omicron variant, saw an upswing in the demand for care. Despite these challenges, Chester County Hospital and our care teams were at the ready.

As detailed in this edition of Synapse, the completion of the final phase of our Emergency Department renovation project came at a crucial time for the hospital and added much-needed bed capacity.

Also in this issue, we meet Lou Testa, a patient who trusted his spine surgery to orthopaedic surgeon Mark Tantorski, MD. Susan Chang, MD, surgical oncologist, and Joseph Serletti, MD, plastic surgeon, share the conveniences, expertise, innovations and compassionate care journey Chester County Hospital breast cancer patients can rely on.

Lastly, we talk to some new members of the Chester County Hospital family to get a first-hand account of what makes working at the hospital a game changer.

Summer represents a sense of optimism, excitement, and something to look forward to. The welcoming of longer days, warmth and sunshine have me feeling encouraged for what's to come.

Thank you to our patients, their families, and our community for their continued support of our efforts.

Warm regards,

Michael J. Duncan
President and CEO, Chester County Hospital
