Congratulations to Rebecca Horrocks, Seamless Access Representative and March BEE Award recipient at Jefferson Lansdale Hospital.

As one of the first points of contact in the emergency department, Rebecca brings calmness, patience and genuine compassion to every interaction. She takes the time to guide patients and their families through what to expect, helping ease uncertainty and create a sense of comfort from the very beginning.

Her kindness and ability to connect with patients in those first moments make a meaningful difference and reflect the heart of the care experience.

Jefferson Health and Hatfield Ice came together for a night that brought the community out on the ice. ⛸️

Families, athletes and neighbors filled the rink for a free skate night centered around movement, connection and time together.

With Jefferson Lansdale Hospital just down the road, this is another way care shows up in everyday life. Bringing health screenings, wellness programming and resources into a space families already know makes it easier to stay on top of your health while doing what you love.

Kristi Caldararo, Chief Operating Officer of Jefferson Lansdale and Abington hospitals, and Dr. Baligh Yehia, President of Jefferson Health, helped kick off the night, reinforcing a shared focus on supporting this community and meeting families where they are.

Pain relief during labor isn’t one-size-fits-all and now there’s another option to know about.

Jefferson Abington Hospital now offers nitrous oxide for labor pain management. Nitrous oxide can help take the edge off contractions by easing anxiety while still allowing you to move around and stay in control during labor.

In this video, Julianna Choi, CNM, a certified nurse-midwife at Jefferson Abington Hospital, explains how nitrous oxide works and when it may be used during the labor process.

If you’re expecting, talk with your care team about whether this could be part of your birth plan.

Today we honor the legacy of Dr. Frank E. Boston, a decorated World War I veteran, surgeon and one of the first African American physicians in the region to found both an ambulance corps and a hospital.

Dr. Boston established the Volunteer Medical Service Corps (VMSC), one of the earliest ambulance corps in the country, helping lay the groundwork for modern emergency medical services. He also founded a hospital in Lansdale so members of the community could receive care at a time when access was limited. That hospital would later become part of what is now Jefferson Lansdale Hospital.

As we celebrate Dr. Boston’s birthday, we reflect on a legacy of service, compassion and leadership that continues to inspire our community today.
