Middletown Township Summer Camp in-cludes ages 4 to 12 years old.

Camp opens on June 27 and runs for six weeks ending Aug. 5. The cost is $67 per week for residents of Middletown Township and $72 per week for non-residents and will be held at Indian Lane School again this year. Once again, our one camp site will now be open to children who will be 4 to 12 years old by the start date of camp, with differ-ent, more mature activities for ages 10 to 12 years old.

Middletown Summer Camp is certainly one of the most reasonably priced camps in the area.

In addition, our caring and fun loving counselors help to create great summer memories for all of our campers. Activities include indoor and outdoor games as well as arts and crafts. Various in-camp special guests include Bruce Fagan, a fantastic and fun kid’s DJ, the Middletown Fire Company firefighters, Charis the Animal Lady and ma-gician Eddy Rae!

Each week, there is a dropoff event at dif-ferent area locations such as the Conchester Bowling Lanes, Oasis Family Fun Center, Putt-Putt Fun Center and Hidden Hollow Pool. These once-a-week dropoff events are at an additional, nominal cost, and on those days, there is no regular camp held at In-dian Lane.

You may sign up for one week or as many as you wish, but if your child registers for two or more weeks, he/she will receive a free camp T-shirt!

Camp runs Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. until noon.

Registration is ongoing at the Park and Rec office until all weeks are sold out. Visit our website www.middletowntownship.org for registration forms and all detailed infor-mation or call 610-565-2700 if you have any questions. Office hours for registration are Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Don’t wait to register as our camp space is limited and you won’t want your child to miss out on all this great, affordable summer fun!

Penn State Brandywine recently held a groundbreaking ceremony to kick off construction of the campus’s first residence hall and a new student union building.

The two new buildings are sched-uled to open in August 2017. The res-idence hall will house 254 students and the student union building will include a dining hall, conference space, student recreation areas, the campus bookstore and student af-fairs offices.

“These new buildings will trans-form our campus and they will transform the educational experi-ence for all of our students, whether they live on campus, off campus or commute from home,” Penn State Brandywine Chancellor Kristin Woolever said.

Woolever said 2017 will be a mile-stone year for the campus, with both the opening of the new buildings and the celebration of the campus’ 50th anniversary.

Madlyn Hanes, vice president for Commonwealth campuses, noted

that she began her Penn State ca-reer as Brandywine’s director of ac-ademic affairs.

“It’s been wonderful to see Bran-dywine’s growth in programs and services and reputation,” Hanes said. “The residence hall and stu-dent union will serve to strengthen Brandywine’s extraordinary capa-bility well into the future, and the future is bright.”

Jerry Parsons, chairman of Bran-dywine’s advisory board and among the first students to attend classes at the current campus location, said the buildings will bring new opportuni-ties for students.

“We have a great need in our re-gion for young educated people who have the skills, qualifications and experience to enter the workforce and make a meaningful contribu-tion,” Parsons said. “Brandywine is preparing students for those exact roles. Brandywine is preparing to-morrow’s leaders.”

Olivia Shiner, president of Bran-dywine’s student government asso-

ciation, said the new buildings will create a more vibrant campus.

“This is such an exciting time to be a student at Penn State Brandy-wine,” she said. “The new residence hall and student union will greatly enhance the students’ experience on campus.”

Pennsylvania Rep. Tom Killion, who attended classes at Brandy-wine in the mid-1970s and for-merly served on the campus ad-visory board, commented on the growth over time.

“Brandywine has always been a great campus, but now it will be a total campus with residence life,” he said. “I could not be prouder and happier.”

Also participating in the ground-breaking ceremony were: Gail Hur-ley, associate vice president for auxil-iary and business services; John Tier-ney, chairman of the Brandywine faculty senate; Mario Civera, chair-man of the Delaware County Coun-cil; and Christopher Quinn, a member of the Middletown Township Council.

When Williamson College of the Trades held its first-ever Service Week recently, nearly 7,000 hours of work were provided to the commu-nity, 37 deserving nonprofit organizations were helped, much bonding between stu-dents, faculty and staff took place, Williamson’s mission became known to many for the first time and William-son’s students learned the good feeling one can only get from helping others.

This all took place from March 15 to 18 as almost the entire Williamson commu-nity, about 250 students, 50 faculty and staff and several trustees and alumni, took part in Service Week.

President Michael Rounds said, “The first-ever William-son Service Week — an en-tire week dedicated to our core value of service — is now history and it was a

fabulously successful event that was special and mem-orable for all involved. As I visited some of the local sites, the feedback I heard was overwhelmingly posi-tive from the organizations we supported. They were im-pressed with the hard work and great attitude of our students and very apprecia-tive of the help we provided them. We truly did make an extraordinary impact.”

Executive Vice President and COO Greg Lindemuth, who was instrumental in or-ganizing Service Week, along with Thomas Wisneski, vice president of research and as-sessment, and Doug Turrell, vice president of plans and operations, said, “This was one of the largest projects Williamson has taken on in its entire history and, with-out a doubt, the combined ef-forts of our students, faculty

and staff made an extraordi-nary impact in our commu-nity. It was a very success-ful week with much work

accomplished and 37 wor-thy nonprofit organizations helped.”

Lindemuth said the feed-

back from participants was overwhelmingly positive and is a confirmation that the goals were achieved.

“One of our goals was to have students from different shops and class years work together so bonds could be formed between students who don’t normally interact together. I do think this was achieved. They also formed closer bonds with faculty and staff by working side by side for a week.”

Other goals achieved in-clude providing a sense of satisfaction from helping others, spreading William-

son’s name throughout the community and emphasiz-ing to the students the im-portance of providing service to others, a trait it is hoped they will carry throughout their lives.

“I think our students were excited about taking part in Service Week and they cer-tainly represented William-son very well. We are all very pleased with their work ac-complished, gentlemanly conduct and professional-ism. Many of the people who work at the nonprof-its we helped were very im-pressed with them.”

The nonprofits that re-ceived Williamson’s help were mainly in Delaware County, but others were in Philadelphia; Chester, Montgomery and Berks counties; and the state of Delaware. Other students traveled a distance to pro-vide aid to Harlan, Ky., and Lima, Peru.

Some of the organiza-tions have had relation-ships with Williamson for many years and for oth-ers this was the first time they received help from the school. The students at each site were supervised by Wil-liamson personnel.

Independence Blue Cross has designated Crozer-Chester Medical Center as a Blue Distinction Center+ in the Blue Distinction Centers for Cardiac Care program, part of the Blue Distinction Specialty Care program.

Blue Distinction Centers are nationally designated health care facilities shown to deliver improved patient safety and better health outcomes, based on objec-tive measures that were de-veloped with input from the medical community.

To receive a Blue Dis-tinction Center+ for Car-diac Care designation, a hospital must demonstrate its expertise in delivering safe and effective cardiac care, focusing on cardiac valve surgery, coronary ar-tery bypass graft (CABG) and percutaneous coro-nary interventions (PCI) episodes of care. A hospital must also have earned na-tional accreditation at the facility level. In addition to meeting established quality thresholds, these hospitals must also demonstrate bet-ter cost-efficiency compared to their peers.

Quality is key: only those facilities that first meet na-tionally established qual-ity measures for Blue Dis-tinction Centers were con-sidered for designation as a Blue Distinction Center+.

Crozer-Chester Medical Center is proud to be recog-nized by Independence Blue Cross for meeting the rigor-ous selection criteria for car-diac care set by the Blue Dis-tinction Specialty Care pro-gram.

“Crozer-Chester Medi-

cal Center’s cardiovascular program has a longstanding reputation for clinical excel-lence and superb outcomes due to its team-based ap-proach to patient care,” says Charles Geller, M.D., chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery for Crozer-Keystone Health Sys-tem. “We are able to read-ily perform the most com-plex procedures, commonly only done at academic med-ical centers, here in our own community’s hospital.”

“I am proud to be a long-time member of Crozer-Chester Medical Center’s medical staff, as both a cli-nician and administrator,” says Ancil Jones, M.D., chief of cardiology for Crozer. “I have firsthand experience with the quality of our car-diovascular program, and this designation from In-dependence Blue Cross val-idates it. Our patients have a choice of where to go for their care. Knowing that the medical center has met these high standards of quality care will give them confidence in trusting their cardiac care to one of the re-gion’s best providers.”

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., claiming more than 610,000 lives — one in four — each year, according to the Centers for Disease Con-trol. By 2030, 40.5 percent of the U.S. population is pro-jected to have some form of cardiovascular disease, and the cost of cardiac care is ex-pected to reach $818 billion by 2030 — an increase of al-most 300 percent from 2010, according to the American Heart Association. The Blue Distinction Specialty Care

program seeks to reduce this burden by empowering patients with the knowledge and tools to find both qual-ity and value for their car-diac care.

Since 2006, the Blue Dis-tinction Specialty Care pro-gram has helped patients find quality providers for their specialty care needs in the areas of bariatric sur-gery, cardiac care, complex and rare cancers, knee and hip replacements, mater-nity care, spine surgery, and transplants, while encourag-ing health care profession-als to improve the care they deliver.

Research shows that fa-cilities designated as Blue Distinction Centers dem-onstrate better quality and improved outcomes for pa-tients compared with their peers. On average, facilities designated as a Blue Dis-tinction Center+ for Car-diac Care are 20 percent more cost efficient in an ep-isode of care compared to non-Blue Distinction Cen-ter+ designated healthcare facilities.

“Crozer-Keystone’s pro-gram continues to grow and evolve,” Geller says. “From a strong emphasis on a pa-tient-centric Heart Team approach, to our new Struc-tural Heart Program for Val-vular Heart and Aortic Dis-ease, our goal is to contin-ually provide every patient with prompt, safe and effec-tive outstanding cardiovas-cular care.”

Visiting your local play-ground or recreational field may soon be a more enjoy-able experience, with the help of Main Line Health and Young Lungs at Play, an initiative promoting tobacco and smoke-free public parks and playgrounds for the com-munities’ youth.

“This is a critical health initiative for our commu-nity, and I am proud to lead Main Line Health’s involve-ment in this program,” said Barbara Siso, tobacco treat-ment Counselor at Rid-dle Hospital, part of Main Line Health. “An estimated 480,000 Americans die each year from cigarette smoke, including those attributed to secondhand smoke. Sec-ondhand smoke exposure also causes an estimated one million illnesses in chil-dren each year. Together, we can help to significantly re-duce those staggering statis-

tics and make our communi-ties healthier.”

Young Lungs at Play aims to eliminate children’s expo-sure to secondhand smoke at local public parks, play-grounds and playing fields by educating community service organizations, mu-nicipalities, school districts and county government agencies. Main Line Health works in partnership with Young Lungs at Play, pro-viding health resources and no-cost, weather-resistant Young Lungs at Play signs to be posted in the recre-ation areas.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies tobacco smoke as a Class A carcinogen, and the Surgeon General reports that there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke, a pol-lutant that causes serious illness in adults and chil-dren. Children are at a par-

ticularly increased risk for asthma, respiratory infec-tions and cardiovascular disease when exposed to to-bacco. There is indisputable evidence that implementing 100 percent smoke-free envi-ronments is the only effec-tive way to protect the pop-ulation from the harmful effects of exposure to sec-ondhand smoke.

Municipalities across Del-aware County are urged to take part in Young Lungs at Play. To find out information about how your community can become involved at no cost, contact Siso at 484-227-3635 or [email protected]. Young Lungs at Play is sup-ported by Main Line Health and funded by the Pennsyl-vania Department of Health.
