The Chester County Hospital Gala at Longwood Gardens is a 30+ year tradition at which friends of Chester County Hospital celebrate our mission and support our community outreach programs. The Gala Committee has reimagined this year's event as a virtual program with MC Michael Hartman telling the incredible story of where we've been this year -- and more importantly, where we're headed.
During the making of our virtual gala, all necessary Covid-19 protocols such as mask-wearing and physical distancing were followed. Be assured anyone shown without a mask has been fully vaccinated. Enjoy the show.

We are thrilled to bring you our Game Changer Virtual Gala hosted by Mike Duncan, President & CEO of Chester County Hospital, and Michael Hartman, Chief of Staff for PA State Senator Carolyn T. Comitta, featuring Grammy-winning American Jazz Bassist and Composer John Patitucci and an important discussion with Robert H. Vonderheide, MD, DPhil, Director of Abramson Cancer Center and John H. Glick, MD, Abramson Cancer Center’s Director Professor. We are honored to be joined by Dr. Wayne R. Croft, Sr. of St. Paul’s Baptist Church in West Chester, PA, soloist Cynthia Eaton of St. Paul’s Baptist Church Choir accompanied by Aaron Graves and Gerald Chavis, Pastor Kyle Boyer of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Coatesville, PA and Henderson High School Chamber Choir led by Jonathan Kreamer.
Supporting the Gala allows us to increase the number of lives we touch through our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Abramson Cancer Center, Emergency Department, Operating Suites and additional patient rooms.
Thank you for supporting the Chester County Hospital Gala. We can’t wait to “see” you on May 12th and we look forward to celebrating together again in May 2022.
So much hard work went into the making of the 2021 Gala. Take a look behind the scenes to see the truly inspiring ways we all came together to make this event happen.

It is no secret that the most unique thing about Chester County Hospital is our community of volunteers. In addition to their roles on our event committees, in volunteer organizations like The Women’s Auxiliary, SHiNE and the Patient and Family Advisory Council, and each day on the floors of our hospital, our volunteers have gone above and beyond the call of duty during the COVID-19 pandemic. From sewing masks and coordinating PPE and food donations, to scheduling vaccinations and assisting fellow community members in our vaccine clinic, they have weathered the storm right along with us. We could not have made it through this year without their tireless spirit.
Thank you for the countless hours dedicated to these efforts.
