At Penn Medicine Chester County Hospital, we believe that caring for our patients starts with caring for each other.

That’s why a year ago, we introduced monthly Well-being Rounds, bringing support, encouragement, and resources directly to our staff. Wellness ambassador volunteers, and sometimes our WeCare team, walk through every unit with a cart stocked with healthy snacks, stress-management tips, and information about Penn Medicine well-being services.

But more than that, they bring connection: a listening ear, a reminder to take a break, and the simple acknowledgment of the hard work our staff give every day. Sometimes it’s the little things—like a snack or a kind word—that make the biggest difference.

The feedback has been heartfelt. Staff are grateful for the human connection, the resources, and the chance to pause and refocus. Together, we’re building a stronger culture of care for our patients and each other.

Abby Ferriola, associate clinical manager of Cardiac Surgery, is the definition of dedication and compassion in nursing. Whether she is providing exceptional care to patients, mentoring new staff, or leading with calm and integrity in high-pressure moments, she consistently goes above and beyond. Her impact reaches across CT surgery, plastic surgery, and the structural heart team, always stepping in with grace, professionalism, and heart.

Her colleagues describe her as a problem-solver, a mentor, and a true team player whose contributions make a difference every single day.

It is no surprise that Abby has been honored with a DAISY Foundation Award, a recognition reserved for extraordinary nurses who embody excellence in patient care.

Congratulations, Abby. Thank you for your leadership, compassion, and all that you bring to Penn Medicine.

Thanks to the incredible efforts of Bonnie Baker, RN, who baked most of the treats with help from her daughter and coworkers in Chester County Hospital’s Cardiovascular OR, our recent bake sale raised over $2,000 for the American Heart Association's 2025 Heart Walk.

We are grateful to Bonnie’s daughter, granddaughter, and friend for their time and energy at the bake sale table, and to Sam Long, AHA Representative, who joined us to encourage sign-ups for the Heart Walk.

This event is a wonderful example of how our community comes together to support heart health and the important work of the American Heart Association. ❤

Members of our Chester County Hospital Pediatrics team are already getting into the Halloween spirit!

Kris Rhone, RN, Wendy White, NA, and Grace Turbitt, RN, (left to right) recently came together to start planning the October 5 Trunk or Treat event held on the back parking lot at Chester County Hospital. Even though they work on different units and schedules, their dedication to our patients, families, and community keeps them connected and excited to bring this tradition to life.

Last year, hundreds of kids from our community joined the fun, and this year promises to be just as special with decorated trunks, plenty of treats, and lots of smiles. http://spr.ly/6181A6ehz

Jonathan Jordan, facilities coordinator for the off-site Chester County Hospital campus locations, is a familiar face to many across our health system. He has been part of the Plant Operations team since 2009, and was recently recognized as Employee of the Month, earning more than 30 nominations from peers and colleagues.

Jon was commended for his swift and decisive actions during the February 2025 power outage that impacted the Cancer Center on Marshall Street. Over three days, with only emergency generators providing power, Jon worked tirelessly, securing vital medications in the cancer pharmacy, draining pipes to prevent freezing, deactivating breakers to avoid dangerous surges, and manually locking doors to ensure safety. He logged more than 40 consecutive hours on-site, personally overseeing the outage and helping address surge-related failures when power was restored.

We are grateful for Jon’s dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to ensuring that everything we do supports our patients and community.

When the Chester County Hospital Diet Office’s order system went down for several weeks, the Nutrition Patient Services (NPS) team pivoted to handwritten tray tickets and manual allergy checks without missing a beat.

NPS manager Megan Lieberman jumped in wherever she was needed, from prepping meals during high patient volume to boosting morale with Crumbl cookies and pizza for staff.

“She kept everyone’s spirits high during this stressful time,” said NPS ambassador RoseMarie Wolf.

Thank you, Megan, for going above and beyond to support your team and our patients.
