COVID-19 Vaccines


CHDC is pleased to offer both Moderna and Pfizer Covid vaccines at our Coventry Mall location. We offer 1st, 2nd, 3rd and booster doses for patients 12 years and older. Boosters are available 5 months after the completion of your Covid vaccine series and your vaccination card is required upon scheduled appointment. To schedule an appointment, please email covidreg@ch-dc.org or call 484-941-9991.


In addition, CHDC offers Pfizer Pediatric Covid-19 vaccines for children ages 5-11 during a scheduled pediatric office visit. If the child is not a CHDC patient and but is interested in receiving a Covid vaccine, we periodically hold Covid-19 vaccine clinics at our Coventry Mall location. Your child will need to be registered for a clinic at our health center and an appointment will be made at that time. Stay tuned for announcements regarding upcoming pediatric vaccine clinics.

National Cancer Survivor Day - Everwell -2.png
Learn More

National Cancer Survivors Day® is an annual, treasured Celebration of Life that is held in hundreds of communities nationwide, and around the world, on the first Sunday in June. It is a CELEBRATION for those who have survived, an INSPIRATION for those recently diagnosed, a gathering of SUPPORT for families, and an OUTREACH to the community. On National Cancer Survivors Day®, people around the world will unite to recognize cancer survivors, raise awareness of the ongoing challenges cancer survivors face, and – most importantly – celebrate life. 


It is a day for everyone, whether you’re a cancer survivor, a family member, friend, or medical professional. This day provides an opportunity for all people living with a history of cancer – including America’s more than 16.9 million cancer survivors – to connect with each other, celebrate milestones, and recognize those who have supported them along the way. It is also a day to draw attention to the ongoing challenges of cancer survivorship in order to promote more resources, research, and survivor-friendly legislation to improve cancer survivors’ quality of life.


Anyone can host an NCSD event. Get started with our 7 simple steps to organizing a National Cancer Survivors Day® event in your community.

Blood Donor - Everwell.png
Learn More

Every year countries around the world celebrate World Blood Donor Day (WBDD). The event serves to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products and to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood.


A blood service that gives patients access to safe blood and blood products in sufficient quantity is a key component of an effective health system. The global theme of World Blood Donor Day changes each year in recognition of the selfless individuals who donate their blood for people unknown to them.

The purpose of Men’s Health Week is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys.


This week gives health care providers, public policy makers, the media, and individuals an opportunity to encourage men and boys to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease and injury. The response has been overwhelming with hundreds of awareness activities in the USA and around the globe. For a partial list of activities, click here.


To quote Congressman Bill Richardson (Congressional Record, H3905-H3906, May 24, 1994):



“Recognizing and preventing men’s health problems is not just a man’s issue.

Because of its impact on wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters, men’s health is truly a family issue.”
