Good News: May 2026

Dear LCH Friends,


This month, we are honored to celebrate LCH being named Organization of the Year by the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce, and to recognize the people who make our mission possible each day. We are excited to welcome Emily Rooney to our Kennett Square team, increasing our access to high-quality care. A special Thank You to Chester County Hospital Penn Medicine CEO, Karen L. Pinsky, MD, for joining our own Chief Medical Officer, Joseph A. Greco, MD, and bringing insights into the future of healthcare to our esteemed guests. As we celebrate Mother’s Day this month, I also invite you to read this month’s patient story, which highlights the power of compassionate care close to home for every member of the family.


In good health,

 

Ronan W. Gannon

Chief Executive Officer

Meet Emily Rooney, CRNP

We are pleased to announce the addition of Emily Rooney, CRNP, to our clinical team at the Kennett Square health center. As a nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience, Rooney brings a deep commitment to community wellness and patient-centered care that aligns with the LCH mission of providing integrated, high-quality care.

A Family Tradition in Women's Care

For 15 years, LCH has been a family tradition for Yanira. Following in her mother’s footsteps, Yanira has relied on our Women’s Health services in West Grove for both of her pregnancies over the last decade.


Yanira’s story shows that every woman deserves a supportive medical home. We are honored to continue caring for her family across generations.
