Chester County Hospital is dedicated to the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve. Learn more at ChesterCountyHospital.org.

Founded in 1892 as the county’s first hospital, the non-profit has grown into a 309-bed acute-care inpatient facility in West Chester. It also has outpatient services in Exton, West Goshen, New Garden, West Grove, Jennersville, and Kennett Square. In 2013, Chester County Hospital became part of Penn Medicine, which is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to medical education, biomedical research, and excellent patient care. In addition to quality-driven medical and surgical services, Chester County Hospital also offers home health, inpatient hospice and skilled nursing care; occupational medicine; outpatient laboratory, radiology and physical therapy services; wound care; cardiopulmonary rehab; and a prenatal clinic for the underserved. In 2020, Chester County Hospital completed the largest expansion in its history. The project welcomed a state-of-the-art procedural platform with 15 operating room suites, a 99-bed patient tower, a new main entrance and an expanded and renovated Emergency Department.

What does patient safety look like in action?

At Chester County Hospital, it looks like teammates gathering, sharing ideas, and learning from one another, all with a single goal: safer care for every patient, every time.

During our recent Patient Safety Fair, that commitment was on full display. From interactive activities to hands-on learning, staff came together to strengthen the practices that protect both our patients and each other.

As part of Patient Safety Awareness Month and National Patient Safety Awareness Week, Penn Medicine continues to celebrate the everyday moments where safety comes first.

Before he was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and began treatment at Penn Medicine, Philadelphia Flyers radio and podcast host Jason Myrtetus was ignoring some troubling symptoms. He is now very passionate about making sure people get screened for colon cancer.

"I was really scared of the colonoscopy which in hindsight is ridiculous," he said. "If you're 45 years or older, or you have past history, get that colonoscopy."

“Don't be scared of a colonoscopy. I did it and it saved my life.” That’s the message Joe O'Pella wants to share.

Joe was the picture of health — young, active, a devoted dad with no reason to think cancer would be part of his story. Until it was. He was diagnosed with stage 3 re**al cancer in his late 30s.

Colore**al cancer is impacting a growing number of young people. Joe's story is all about listening to your body and not letting fear delay a test that could save your life. When discovered through screening, colon cancer is very treatable. Something Joe knows firsthand.
