🐄 A Fan Favorite: Klein Farms Dairy! 🐐
Klein Farms in Easton is one of our most beloved local destinations for both our Support Professionals and the individuals they support. This charming, wheelchair-accessible dairy farm offers a perfect blend of fun and relaxation - small enough to feel welcoming but packed with memorable experiences. Visitors can shop for fresh cheese, butter and eggs, or enjoy farm-made ice cream while getting a behind-the-scenes look at a working farm.
But the real stars of the show? The animals! On any given day, you’ll find cows, sheep, chickens, geese, goats, and donkeys ready to greet guests with curiosity and charm. It’s a place where smiles are guaranteed, and we love supporting this local gem that brings joy (and delicious foods) to so many in our community.

Meet Samantha, our Manager of Behavioral Supports and Community Connections! She started her journey at Via as an intern in 2018 and quickly proved her dedication and talent. After being hired as a Vocational and Community Connections Coordinator, she continued to grow and was promoted in 2024 to her current leadership role. Samantha’s work is rooted in compassion, creativity, and a deep commitment to the individuals we serve.

What she loves most about Via is the opportunity to walk alongside participants in their journeys - helping them overcome challenges, explore new experiences, and celebrate growth. Whether it’s field days, Halloween parties, or everyday moments of connection, Samantha brings joy and purpose to her work. Outside of Via, she enjoys spending time with her family, especially her niece and nephew, and diving into a good book. We’re grateful for her leadership and the heart she brings to our mission!

🎉 Birthday Adventures at the Aquarium! 🎉
Zarrah celebrated her birthday with a fun-filled trip to the Electric City Aquarium in Scranton, one of our favorite destinations within a 90-minute drive! Joined by Daniel and their amazing Direct Support Professionals, Chris and Sarah, the group had a blast exploring the exhibits and getting up close with sea life. From watching fish and rays glide through the water to marveling at the Pacific Giant octopus, every moment was full of wonder.
The highlight? The touch tank experience - everyone got the chance to gently interact with some of the fish! It was a day full of smiles, learning, and connection. Happy birthday, Zarrah!

🦁🐒 A Wildly Wonderful Day at the Philadelphia Zoo! 🐘🦓
Our annual trip to the Philadelphia Zoo is always a highlight - and this year was no exception! With perfect weather and plenty to explore, our team had an amazing time visiting one of the most beloved spots in the region. From watching majestic tigers stroll overhead in their special walkways to enjoying lunch together surrounded by nature, every moment was filled with excitement and connection.
The Philadelphia Zoo is not only packed with incredible animals - it’s also accessible and sensory inclusive, with paved pathways, quiet zones and headphone areas. It’s a place where everyone can feel welcome and engaged. We’re already looking forward to next year’s visit! 💙🐾

🌟 Shoutout to Chris N. – Employee of the Quarter! 🌟
We’re celebrating Chris, one of Via's Community Coaches, for her incredible dedication and compassionate care. Chris was nominated for going above and beyond to support an individual in accessing dental care, building trust through shared experiences like fishing, and encouraging a newfound love for reading. Her patience, creativity, and genuine connection have made a lasting impact.
As her coworker Samantha shared: “Through consistent encouragement, patience, and creative approaches, Chris has helped the individual feel safe and supported in taking those first steps. Now, the individual is showing real interest and putting in effort to learn - something that once felt out of reach.” Thank you, Chris, for the heart you bring to your work every day! 💙👏

Congratulations to Matthew P. – Crothall’s Regional GEM of the Year!
Matthew joined the Crothall EVS team at Lehigh Valley Health – Cedar Crest in June 2024 through a partnership with Via of the Lehigh Valley. In just over a year, he’s become a cornerstone of the Intermidian Progressive Coronary Care Unit, bringing heart, vigilance, and excellence to every shift.
With eight DAISY Award nominations, a Community Service Award finalist nod, and a State Employment Service Excellence nomination, Matthew’s impact is undeniable.
His managers say:
"Matthew treats his unit not just as a job site, but as a community of care. His quick thinking even helped save a patient’s life by recognizing stroke symptoms and initiating a stroke alert."

Matthew truly embodies Crothall’s values: Be Well, Be Kind, Do More. We’re proud to celebrate his dedication and the difference he makes every day.
👏 Join us in congratulating Matthew on this well-deserved honor!
