"They putted for a purpose...and you can join them." ⛳️💙

At this year’s Ann Silverman Community Health Clinic's Golf Outing, our generous donors and golfers drove more than golf balls — they drove hope and healing for patients in need.

Every swing helped fund free medical, dental, and behavioral health services for our neighbors in need.

You can join this incredible circle of support. Whether on the course or from home, your contribution will change lives.

Your brain is amazing — and it’s working overtime for you every single day!

Did you know your brain can store up to 2.5 petabytes of information?
That’s the equivalent of 300 years of continuous video!
But it’s not just about storage — your brain is always changing thanks to something called neuroplasticity.

That means you can build a better brain at any age — and it starts with daily choices!

Here are 3 ways to support your brain’s health and flexibility:
1. Regulate insulin – Balanced blood sugar = better brain function
2. Sleep well – Your brain does its housekeeping while you sleep
3. Eat Omega-3s – Found in salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds — they’re brain food!

At Ann Silverman Community Health Clinic, we believe in caring for the whole person — mind and body.

Your brain is worth protecting. Treat it like the treasure it is!

Childhood Trauma: It’s More Than Just “Bad Memories” 💔

At Ann Silverman Community Health Clinic, we’re creating new pathways to healing for patients impacted by childhood trauma.

Too often, trauma is misunderstood or minimized. But it doesn’t just live in the past—it lingers in the nervous system, shaping how we think, feel, and connect with the world around us.

What childhood trauma can look like:
⚡ Hypervigilance
💭 Flashbacks or intrusive thoughts
😞 Difficulty managing emotions
😔 Struggles with trust and connection
🛑 Numbness or emotional detachment
😴 Sleep issues, shame, or guilt

Thanks to our compassionate team of behavioral health specialists—led by Dr. Dan Weldon—we’re committed to providing trauma-informed care that helps our patients feel safe, seen, and supported.

Because healing isn’t just possible—it’s happening here, every day.

Your story matters. Your healing matters.

Transformative. Empowering. Catalytic.
These are just a few of the words that describe the Philly Gives experience.

Philly Gives has been truly catalytic—sparking action, connection, and meaningful impact across our region. It has brought together nonprofits, sponsors, and supporters with a shared commitment to equity, compassion, and change.

We were honored to represent the Ann Silverman Community Health Clinic as one of this year’s grantees. This support will directly provide for 150 patients—giving them access to essential medical, dental, and behavioral health care that they otherwise could not afford.

Thank you to the Philadelphia Foundation, The Lenfest Institute, Dr. Janet Haas, and all those who made this initiative possible. Your vision and generosity are uplifting entire communities.

Gratitude also to 6abc and The Philadelphia Inquirer for amplifying the voices and stories behind this work.

What a joy it has been to be part of this powerful initiative—from its launch to today’s celebration. We are proud, grateful, and energized for what’s ahead.
