Cheer on Pastor Tom! 🌟

Board Secretary • Pastor • Advocate • Champion for Care

Pastor Thomas Rusert of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Doylestown
has never stopped finding creative ways to serve our community. From dancing on stage in Dancing with the Stars, to serving as a judge for Dancing for Bucks, Pastor Tom has always stepped up with passion and purpose.

This year, inspired by fellow board member Dr. Gever — who ran the marathon last year to raise funds for our clinic — Pastor Tom is lacing up his running shoes and taking on the marathon challenge to support the Ann Silverman Community Health Clinic. 🏃‍♂️💙

📺 Follow his journey and enjoy his YouTube updates along the way!

💚 And if you’re able, please consider making a donation in his honor — every gift helps us provide free medical, dental, and behavioral healthcare to our neighbors in need.

👉 Support Pastor Tom’s mission.

👉 Spread the word.

👉 Help us keep care accessible for every family in Bucks County.
Let’s run this race together — for health, hope, and community.

🧠 Right Brainer or Left Brainer?
At Ann Silverman Community Health Clinic, we celebrate every brain.

Some of us think in numbers and logic. Others lead with creativity and imagination. Many fall somewhere beautifully in between. No matter how your brain works, your mind matters — and your health matters.

Our Behavioral Health team understands that each person’s brain processes life differently.
That’s why we offer care that is:

• Personalized — honoring your strengths
• Compassionate — supporting your feelings
• Holistic — caring for both mental and physical health
• Accessible — free services for low-income, uninsured neighbors

Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, depression, or simply wanting someone to talk to — we are here for you.
With open doors.
Open minds.
And open hearts.

✨ Because every brain deserves care.

🌿 No one should have to wait for mental health care — ever.
At the Ann Silverman Community Health Clinic, that belief guides everything we do.

Every week, our behavioral health team meets neighbors who are carrying more than anyone should have to bear — trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, immigration stress, loss of employment, and the quiet battles that rarely make headlines. Many have nowhere else to turn. Many have no insurance. All deserve care.

That is why our clinic offers free, compassionate, trauma-informed behavioral health services to low-income and uninsured residents of Bucks County.
No barriers. No waiting lists. No judgment.
Just a safe place to be seen, heard, and supported.

As we prepare for 2026 — with hundreds of community members expected to lose Medicaid — our commitment has never been more urgent. We are expanding access, strengthening our behavioral health program, and ensuring that every person who walks through our doors receives the care they need and the dignity they deserve.

🩵 Mental health is health.
🩵 Care should never depend on insurance.
🩵 And no one in Bucks County should ever go without support.

Together, we can create a community where healing is possible for everyone.

Student Spotlight: Jocelyn, Dental Hygiene Student – Manor College

“My experience at the Ann Silverman Community Health Clinic has been incredibly positive. It’s so rewarding to help people who might not have access to insurance — giving them the cleanings, x-rays, and care they need. Everyone is always so thankful, and that makes it even more meaningful.

I’m grateful that Manor College partners with this clinic because it gives us the opportunity to see new faces outside of our school clinic and gain real-world experience serving those who might not receive care otherwise

Full Circle of Care: From Patient to Future Physician

At a recent community event, a CB West student approached our table with a story that reminded us why the Ann Silverman Community Health Clinic exists. She shared that her parents received care at our clinic more than 25 years ago — a time when the clinic became a lifeline for their family.

Those experiences left a lasting impact. Today, she’s studying to become a doctor, inspired by the compassionate care her family once received here. Her dream is to serve her community by bridging cultures and languages — using both Spanish and English to ensure that no one faces barriers to care.

Moments like these remind us that the seeds of kindness planted years ago continue to grow — in classrooms, in hearts, and in the next generation of healers.

🧠 Canada just mapped the entire human brain — and found over 3,000 cell types we never knew existed.

🎶 Some are unique to humans — including one linked to musical ability.
👀 Others explain why mouse studies don’t predict human disorders.

This brain atlas could change everything:
✨ New drug targets
🧬 Gene therapies
💡 A deeper look into Alzheimer’s, autism & creativity

We’ve officially entered the age of precision neuroscience.

🌟 Meet Our "Dancing for Buck$ 2026" Contender: Bernard Tynes!

We’re thrilled to introduce Bernard Tynes, Executive Vice President and Chief Consumer Banking Officer at Penn Community Bank, as our fourth contender for Dancing for Buck$ 2026!

Bernard is a leader who moves with purpose — on and off the dance floor. As Executive Vice President at Penn Community Bank, he oversees Retail Banking, Small Business, Marketing, and the Penn Community Bank Foundation. His work reflects his belief that financial empowerment and community connection go hand in hand. Under his leadership, Penn Community Bank continues to champion inclusion, innovation, and service to others.

What makes this moment even more meaningful is the legacy behind it. Penn Community Bank has been with us from the very beginning. In the first year of this now-beloved community competition, their President and CEO, Jeane M. Vidoni, stepped onto the dance floor herself — setting the tone for what leadership in motion truly looks like. Her example of grace, courage, and community spirit continues to inspire us.

Today, Bernard proudly carries that legacy forward — bringing energy, confidence, and a deep commitment to making a difference. His passion for service mirrors the mission of the Ann Silverman Community Health Clinic: providing free medical, dental, and behavioral health care to those who need it most.

💜 Join us in cheering for Bernard as he takes the floor to raise funds, awareness, and hope for thousands of neighbors across Bucks County. Every vote and every sponsorship helps sustain compassionate care for all.
