Behavioral Health Team Outreach Event with Saint Aloysius Church Shelter
Last month, some of our Behavioral Health staff visited Saint Aloysius Church Shelter in Pottstown to connect with people from all walks of life and share the amazing resources that CHDC has to offer.

By working with local organizations, our staff are able to make personal connections with future patients.
