Dear LCH Friends,
November is American Diabetes Month. While this is a serious disease, it can be managed, and at times even prevented. We work closely with our diabetic patients to help educate, self-empower, and create healthy lifestyle changes for the whole family. Take time this month to review your family history, and talk with your provider if you are concerned that you are at risk for diabetes.
Vaccines continue to play an essential role in disease prevention. The time is now for your flu shot and your COVID-19 vaccine if you have not yet already received one. From local pharmacies to the Chester County Health Department, there are so many great resources available for vaccines. The time is now!
In good health,
Chief Executive Officer

Breast Cancer Awareness Month |
During the month of October, we celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Screenings are so important, especially for women! Early detection can save lives. Talk with your Women’s Health provider today about what kind of screenings you should have. LCH is proud to partner with Access Matters to help connect our patients to these important screenings at little or no cost, regardless of insurance. Watch this video with Claudia Montesdeoca, CRNP, Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, in English or Spanish.
