KENNETT SQUARE \u2014 La Comunidad Hispana (LCH) will host their fourth annual Amigos and Amigas of LCH event this year on Friday, November 13th<\/sup> from 7:00 \u2013 8:00 p.m.\u00a0 Like many other nonprofits, LCH is choosing to hold their event in a virtual format this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery part of LCH has had to make adjustments in the pandemic, including fundraising,\u201d said LeeAnn Riloff, Director of Development at LCH.\u00a0 \u201cBut this will be a fun, unique opportunity to be together in the safety of everyone\u2019s own homes.\u00a0 No matter where we all are, it will be a night to celebrate the strength of the community and LCH\u2019s impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

The federally qualified health center has been able to keep its doors open and provide all services since the onset of COVID-19 thanks to local and national grants who have donated funds for safety equipment, technology, and staff support. In addition to primary care, LCH provides pediatric, dental, women\u2019s health, behavioral health, and social support services to all regardless of health insurance or ability to pay.\u00a0 LCH has been administering COVID-19 tests to the community both on-site and at local mushroom farms.\u00a0 LCH\u2019s telemedicine appointments are also available to patients across all services.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow more than ever, we need to be here to provide care to our community,\u201d said Barbara Mancill, Director of Quality and Population Health and Interim Co-CEO.\u00a0 \u201cCOVID-19 has made healthcare more complicated.\u00a0 Our members are vulnerable to the economic stress and the many unknowns that are now a part of our daily lives.\u00a0 As a trusted resource in the community, we have to be there to support them \u2014 during the pandemic, and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event will celebrate the theme of the Mexican Holiday Day of the Dead, or \u201cD\u00eda de los Muertos\u201d in Spanish.\u00a0 Registered guests will receive a bag of goodies to help them celebrate some of the traditions of the holiday.\u00a0 During the event, LCH will also provide an update on their services amidst the pandemic, and the fourth annual Alice K. Moorhead Community Impact Award, a recognition of exceptional dedication and support to LCH\u2019s mission, will be presented to Nancy and Mike Pia.\u00a0 Catherine Byers will be awarded the new LCH Volunteer of the Year Award.<\/p>\n

Event tickets are $50 per person to support LCH\u2019s mission.\u00a0 Tickets are available by visiting: https:\/\/lacomunidadhispana.org\/event\/amigos\/<\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cWe are so excited for November 13th<\/sup>,\u201d said Margarita Garay Zarco, Director of Human Resources and Interim Co-CEO.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to give a special thank you to our Premier Sponsors: Cabot Kjellerup Foundation, Manfredi Cold Storage, Chester County Food Bank, Al West and Sarah Walter, and Mike and Nancy Pia and Family.\u00a0 See you there, Amigos!\u201d\u00a0 Sponsorship opportunities are still available.\u00a0 Contact LeeAnn Riloff at (610) 444-7550 x220 or LR*****<\/span>@***<\/span>ps.org<\/span><\/a> for details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
