Mission Statement The mission of The Health Network of The Chester County Hospital is to provide high quality care, consistent with identifiable health care needs of Chester County area residents and within the constraints of sound fiscal management, as well as the education of health care professionals and the community. Vision The Health Network of The Chester County Hospital will be recognized as a dedicated community based health care organization, which enjoys integrated provider relationships that foster excellence in clinical and personal service. It will seek to develop and implement programs and services, which will enhance the health status of the community. The Network will strive to exceed the expectations of those it serves, maintain standards of the highest quality, and promote a rewarding work environment.
As we approach Dear Friends, As we approach the end of a year of economic turmoil, and political change, it is good to reflect on those things for which we should be thankful. The Chester County Hospital is fortunate to be located in the heart of Chester County – a county that has robust double-digit growth, and one identified by Forbes magazine as tenth on its national “Best Counties to Raise a Family” list. Our community is rich in history, and has been wise in its use of its natural beauty. The Hospital has been a central part of the fabric of the county for 116 years. We have grown as our county has grown. We have established comprehensive medical services and added new offices to meet the demand on healthcare. In addition to our main Hospital building, we have seven satellite locations to bring care closer to your home. We have medical buildings in West Goshen, Lionville, Exton, Dilworthtown, New Garden, Kennett Square and Jennersville. However, as we hear feedback from our patients, we appreciate that more and more of you are aware that seeking quality healthcare is of paramount importance. However, quality does not always need to be provided at the highest cost. Given the current political emphasis on the state of health insurance, we believe that “value” will become the measuring stick in the healthcare industry. You will find that we have kept our costs and charges for care much lower than other regional and local hospitals. Our physicians, nurses and employees have always been committed to providing quality and compassionate care. In June, we earned six prestigious Gold Seals of Approval from the Joint Commission because of the quality standards we uphold. In addition, the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services recently published comparative data among 33 regional hospitals in two quality surveys. Both comparisons featured The Chester County Hospital very favorably, ranking us #1 or #2 on the lists. We continue to set and to raise the bar for healthcare in our region. As our growing community looks to us for care, it is incumbent on us to make every effort to have the beds and resources needed for their well-being. As you no doubt know, we are building a new wing to provide additional patient rooms and to consolidate our cardiovascular services and procedural rooms. We are investing in the heart to meet the growing need for cardiovascular care in our community. By consolidating these services, other specialty units within the Hospital will gain much needed space. We have been raising funds for this expansion for three years. At this date, we have nearly achieved our $30 million comprehensive goal due to the generosity of friends in our community. Because of the national economic dilemma, we have been conservative in our timing to finance this building project. Guided by our Board of Directors, we had wisely decided not to get involved in some of the more risky financing alternatives that have now become problematic for so many other institutions. The contributions that our community has entrusted with us are safely set aside, so that when the economic climate is favorable again we can quickly enter the bond market and move forward with our expansion plans. On behalf of my colleagues at The Health Network of The Chester County Hospital, thank you for selecting us to be your healthcare provider of choice and for supporting us with your generous gifts. Gratefully, The Chester County Hospital Foundation H.L.
