National Health Center Week Recap

Healthcare for the Homeless Day: Monday, August 7th


Leading up to National Health Center Week, our staff brought in donations for our Street Medicine Donation Drive! We collected items to benefit the Street Medicine Program, which works to provide primary and urgent care to those experiencing homelessness in Pottstown Borough wherever they reside- whether that be a tent in the woods, a homeless shelter, or on the street. 


This was one of our most successful donation drives yet! Thanks to the generosity of our staff, the Street Medicine Program will continue to be able to provide healthcare and hygiene products to those experiencing homelessness in Pottstown. 

Agricultural Worker Health Day: Tuesday, August 8th


This year we put a unique spin on Agricultural Worker Health Day! Volunteers from CHDC visited Mosaic Community Land Trust at their Chestnut St. community garden to help with some weeding and cleaning. Thank you to Andrew Reid, Executive Director at Mosaic, who taught us all about the community garden and guided us in cleaning it up! We had a really great morning getting out and making our neighborhood more beautiful.



Mosaic's Community Gardens provide space to local residents to rent a garden plot and grow their own produce. These gardens become a space for the community to gather, spend time outdoors, and learn about produce from a variety of cultures. If you want to learn more about Mosaic Community Land Trust and their gardens, housing, and more, visit mosaicclt.org.

Staff & Patient Appreciation Day: Wednesday, August 9th


Today and every day, we are grateful for our patients who choose Community Health & Dental Care as their healthcare home. So often, we are inspired by the people who walk through our doors, and feel lucky to be a trusted healthcare provider to our community. We are here to help patients achieve health in all areas of life, which is why we offer medical, dental, vision, physical therapy, behavioral health, and more! Our patients are at the heart of everything we do - thank you for choosing CHDC ❤️ Click below to enjoy our 2023 Patient Appreciation Video!

We celebrated our CHDC staff on Wednesday with some fun "Dash" cupcakes during our monthly All-Staff Meeting! Throughout the week, our staff had the opportunity to enter the raffle for our "Health & Wellness" themed raffle basket. Our community is happier and healthier because of the many ways staff go above and beyond to provide the best possible care. Whether they've just joined the CHDC family or have given many years of service, we value our staff's commitment to us and the patients we serve.

Children's Health Day: Friday, August 11th


We wrapped up our National Health Center Week celebrations with a Community Health Fair at our Coventry Mall location on Friday! Hundreds of patients, community members, and some of our own CHDC family members joined us for an awesome afternoon. We had so much fun connecting with our community and celebrating National Health Center Week. We had:


  • 100+ backpacks handed out
  • 30 community organizations attending
  • 5 CHDC services tables
  • 1 fun-filled afternoon!


Special thank you to Kim Hudson from CBS3 Philadelphia for joining us and highlighting such a special week for Community Health Centers. Check out the video below to see CHDC (and some familiar faces) on the news!
