Jefferson Health - Abington

Our Occupational Therapy team at Jefferson Abington Hospital came together for their 4th annual bake sale during Occupational Therapy Month, turning something simple into meaningful support for patients.

Proceeds help patients at Jefferson Abington Hospital who may need assistance with essential equipment or transportation to and from care, helping remove barriers that can stand in the way of healing and progress.

Occupational therapy is rooted in helping people return to the routines and moments that matter most. This effort carries that same purpose forward, offering support that continues beyond a hospital stay and into everyday life.

At the Asplundh Cancer Pavilion, part of Jefferson’s Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, it’s moments like this that bring our teams together. 🎬 Behind the scenes, this is a group of clinicians, researchers and support staff who stay closely connected in the work they do and in how they show up for one another.

That connection carries from the lab to the clinic to the bedside, where research and care are happening side by side. With 35 clinical trials currently enrolling, appointments are available for those navigating a new diagnosis, seeking a second opinion or continuing treatment.

One decision can change everything. 💙 April is , and at Jefferson Abington Hospital, a Gift of Life flag was raised as Tim Sawick shared his story of receiving multiple transplants throughout his life after once being told he would only live to 27. Those second chances made it possible for him to build a life filled with family, including his children and grandchildren. Tim has experienced organ donation from both sides, as a recipient and through his late daughter, Sara, who became a donor and continues to give to others through her gift.

At Jefferson Abington Hospital, that impact continues. In 2025, there were 18 potential organ donors, 10 who became donors, and lives changed through 1.51 transplants per donor, with a 100% referral rate supporting this work.

Say yes to organ donation and give someone a second chance at life. Visit jeffersonhealth.org/savealife today.

Jefferson Health and Hatfield Ice came together for a night that brought the community out on the ice. ⛸️

Families, athletes and neighbors filled the rink for a free skate night centered around movement, connection and time together.

With Jefferson Lansdale Hospital just down the road, this is another way care shows up in everyday life. Bringing health screenings, wellness programming and resources into a space families already know makes it easier to stay on top of your health while doing what you love.

Kristi Caldararo, Chief Operating Officer of Jefferson Lansdale and Abington hospitals, and Dr. Baligh Yehia, President of Jefferson Health, helped kick off the night, reinforcing a shared focus on supporting this community and meeting families where they are.
