Good News Recap: November 2020
Changing Lives with LCH
What a Year!
This year turned our world upside down, as we adapted to an ongoing pandemic and became an even more critical community resource to those we serve. Our 2020 Annual Report details our work to respond to the threat of COVID-19 and keep our community safe, as well as to ensure that our patients still receive the regular, preventive, integrated care they need.
We are more committed than ever to our mission of changing lives in southern Chester County by serving as the leading provider of integrated health and community services.
Mission Moment
A Positive Outlook
Thomas is a patient with LCH, and has overcome immense health issues with a positive, can-do attitude every step of the way. As a former volunteer EMT/fireman for over twenty years, he has an appreciation for health centers like LCH that are always here to help. His career path led him to working for an insurance company for over twenty years, followed by a large grocery chain for about twelve, and then his working life came to a halt because of his health conditions. ..........
We had a blast celebrating on November 13th during our Amigos of LCH Virtual Fundraiser. Thank you to all who could join us! In case you missed it, catch up and watch:
