Community Outreach

At Phoenixville Hospital, our goal is to promote a healthy community. The Community Health Education department provides a variety of health promotion programs, with a focus on disease prevention, self-care for health and illness and utilization of community resources. More than 14,000 individuals participate in over 800 programs annually. Activities take place both on the campus of the hospital as well as off-site, including churches, schools, senior centers, worksites and other accessible locations. We also collaborate with area civic, business and religious organizations.
