In These Times … A Message from the President
I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. Mom. Mom. I can’t breathe.
As a mother myself, these words bring instant panic, fear and reaction. If I saw my son, my brother, my nephew, my cousin voicing these words on news feed over and over again, those instant reactions would ultimately move into raging anger.
That’s what we see in our streets repeated all over this country. Chester County OIC wishes to bring honor to the name of George Floyd and so many like him, who have lost their lives in the struggle of being Black or of color in America.
County Testing Center Opens

Giving from the Heart
“Who would have thought the job I love so much could kill me.” Christiana
The words of our former C.N.A. graduate haunt me every day. Christiana is now an LPN at Chester County Hospital. Like all front line workers, she endures every day, caring for those in dire need while risking her own safety and that of her young family.
CITYWIDE ALERT
“The virus is here and it’s real. Don’t wait for it to change your life, change your behavior.”
By now you have heard the reports of one (1) COVID-19 positive case in the City of Coatesville. The bells are now ringing close to home. It is time to step up our commitment to inform this community of what is inevitable, more positive cases.
We are going to see more families devastated
