Thank you Dick Yuengling and the Yuengling Family for again welcoming Lehigh Valley Hospital–Schuylkill, part of Jefferson Health, to the Annual Light Lager Jogger 5K in Pottsville where more than 3100 runners took to the streets of historic Pottsville.

The event benefits Project Red, White and Blue as well as first responders.

LVH–Schuylkill fielded a team of ten-runners as well as our welcomed Cowbell Cheering Section, 1000 clanging bells cheering everyone on.

Thanks to our volunteers for staffing our tables and to our team from our Accredited Primary Stroke Center and Certified Chest Pain Center for offering information on the warning signs of stroke and heart attack. The "Hands Only" CPR refresher is always a hit.

It is always a special day when The Red Knights Pa15 Motorcycle Club embarks on the PA Bunny Run where the members visit local hospitals and deliver stuffed animals every Easter. LVH–Schuylkill has been on the receiving end for each of the past 22 Runs.

Thank you so much to the members and other local riders who participated. Your kindness and generosity brought smiles to the faces of our patients and our colleagues.

Donated items are shared with children in our Pediatrics Department as well as in the ER.

Staff accepted the donations with a hospitality station near the ER at LVH–Schuylkill E. Norwegian St. campus.

A January snowstorm brought more than 18 inches of snow to northeastern Pennsylvania, but inside LVH–Schuylkill’s Adolescent Behavioral Health Unit, it became a moment of joy.

Staff gathered snow, decorations and even makeshift mitten socks so kids could build snowmen – some for the first time. Laughter filled the unit as a simple activity turned into a meaningful reminder that every child deserves a moment to just be a kid. ❄️⛄

Warm your heart with the full story – snowmen included: https://bit.ly/4cqCqIu.
