🌎 Celebrating Earth Day with our community.

Last weekend, our Friends Hospital team joined the Tookany/Tacony Frankford Watershed Partnership for a cleanup in Tacony Creek Park—the beautiful green space we’re proud to sit beside.

Caring for this park strengthens our community, protects local ecosystems, and supports the healing power of nature. We’re grateful for our ongoing partnership with TTF and will continue working together to keep this space thriving.

🌸 Women’s History Month: Honoring Dr. Sandra L. Bloom

This Women’s History Month, we are proud to recognize Dr. Sandra L. Bloom, the pioneering psychiatrist who launched the Sanctuary Model right here at Friends Hospital. Her groundbreaking work in trauma‑informed care has transformed behavioral health nationwide and continues to influence how organizations create safe, healing environments.

Dr. Bloom’s leadership is a meaningful part of our history and a reminder of the powerful role women have played—and continue to play—in shaping compassionate mental healthcare.🌿
