National Depression Awareness Month
Major depression is one of the most common mental illnesses, affecting more than 16 million American adults each year. Here at CHDC, our Behavioral Health Consultants offers one-on-one appointments to discuss depression, family issues, substance abuse, and more. Our staff utilizes depression screenings as a quick and easy way to spot the early warning signs of depression. If you would like to talk to a member of our Behavioral Health team, ask your CHDC medical provider for a referral or give us a call today at 610-326-9460 to learn more.

National Dental Hygiene Month
October is Dental Hygiene Month! With Halloween right around the corner, now is a great time to "brush" up on your healthy smile habits. It's important to have a plan in place to maintain your family's dental health - like scheduling regular dental visits with the team here at CHDC!
This is the time of the year where we celebrate the work dental hygienists do! Dental hygienists play an important role in patients’ health and well-being. By supporting the dentist and performing certain functions such as screening patients, conducting dental cleanings, taking x-rays, and more, they form an integral piece of the dental hygiene puzzle for many of our patients.
We offer Dental services in 3 convenient locations: our Coventry Mall Office, Heritage Drive Office, and Barto office! Give us a call at 610-326-9460 to get your appointment scheduled today.

World Mental Health Day: October 10th
World Mental Health Day is a day for each of us to acknowledge our mental health journeys and come together in the fight to end stigma against mental illness. If someone you know is struggling with their mental health, we have 3 tips to prepare you to talk with them:
1. Find a calm space to talk without distractions (and be ready to give your full attention!)
2. Show that you are actively listening, make eye contact, and ask questions.
3. Ask how you can help, rather than telling them what they should do.
On World Mental Health Day and every day, our Behavioral Health team at CHDC works with CHDC medical patients on various things that impact mental health. If you are interested in learning more about our Behavioral Health services at CHDC, visit our website by clicking the button below or giving us a call at 610-326-9460.
