Promoting care, connection, and community well-being 💜🩺

We were proud to participate in the Chester Consortium’s event, A Celebration of Maternal Health & Wellness: Rooted in Justice and Joy, over the weekend. Community members, healthcare professionals, and advocates came together to share resources, exchange knowledge, and support stronger maternal health outcomes in our community.

On Saturday, we attended the Second Annual Community Baby Shower hosted by Jefferson Health at the Community Wellness Center in West Philadelphia. The event connected families with essential resources and health support in a welcoming, supportive environment.

On Sunday, students and staff participated in the Autism Awareness Run, organized by Nurse Educator Patricia Tuggle. This event brought participants together to walk and run in support of autism awareness and community connection.

We’re proud of our students for giving back and representing compassionate care in action!👏
