Last week, we celebrated the season by giving each member of our team their choice of a turkey or ham to brighten holiday gatherings. But the generosity didn’t end there, together, we donated several hundred pounds of turkey and ham to our partners at Water Street Ministries, helping fuel their vital work across Lancaster County. Their mission brings hope, meals and essential support to individuals and families in need and we’re honored to stand alongside them.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this possible. Together, we’re making a meaningful impact right here in our community.

From start to finish, this event was all about gratitude and connection! We transformed our delivery area into a festive winter wonderland and our leadership team kept the celebration going by handing out hams and turkeys to every staff member, even those off-shift were able to stop by and pick theirs up.
The laughter, conversations and warm drinks made it a day to remember! We loved seeing everyone enjoy the extra treats, steak and eggs, hot dogs, coffee and cocoa, while taking a moment to connect with one another. Of course, a special visit from Santa made the day even more magical!

It Takes Courage to Ask for Help
Seeking mental health support isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength. Taking that first step can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.
Our team is here to listen, support and guide you toward healing and hope. Your mental well-being matters, and we’re committed to walking this journey with you.
A sweet start to December! We kicked off the month with a festive Pie Eating Contest because nothing says holiday spirit like pie. Taz, Kayla and Greg rose to the challenge (literally) and after plenty of mouthfuls, Greg took home the win!
Thank you to everyone who participated and cheered them on. Here’s to more fun and festive moments this season.

Today, we take a moment to reflect on gratitude and the importance of mental well-being during the holiday season. We are deeply thankful for our dedicated team, the individuals in our care and the community we proudly serve. While the holidays often bring joy, they can also bring stress. Remember to prioritize yourself, practice mindfulness, take breaks and reach out for support when needed.
From all of us at Lancaster Behavioral Health Hospital, we wish you a safe, peaceful and Happy Thanksgiving!
