Supporting "Operation 143," a non-profit organization providing food to unhoused and food insecure students. There are hungry kids, and kids who depend on school breakfast and lunch in every district at every grade level. Volunteers pack bags with enough food for each student, as well as some snacks and water. These food items are all shelf stable and require neither refrigeration nor cooking. Members of Pottstown Hospital's Outpatient Rehabilitation Department were honored to volunteer for Operation 143 to support students in need from several local school districts.

The Certificate of Excellence was recently awarded to Michael Tkach, MD, at Pottstown Hospital. 👏 Here is what a patient’s wife wrote: I would like to recognize Dr. Michael Tkach for the outstanding care and attention he gave to our family during my husband’s hospitalization. What impressed us most was the time he took to speak with us. Unlike many who are understandably busy and rushing to the next meeting or responsibility, Dr. Tkach never made us feel hurried or dismissed. He patiently answered our many questions- some of them highly technical – and engaged in thoughtful discussion. He recognized that one of our family members is a pharmaceutical professional and respectfully took the time to explain matters in greater depth so that we could fully understand his reasoning and recommendations. His willingness to slow down, listen, and explain made a tremendous difference for our family. Dr. Tkach demonstrated not only his medical expertise but also his empathy and respect for patients and their loved ones. His care and communication provided us both with clarity and comfort during a very difficult time.

⏱️ T.I.M.E. is of the essence to spot sepsis quickly. Sepsis develops when your body’s extreme response to an infection causes organ damage. It can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, or death if not recognized early. Even though this serious condition affects millions each year, many people don’t recognize the symptoms until it’s too late. ✅ Our staff routinely screens patients for sepsis, activates Rapid Response Team Sepsis Alerts when needed, and follows proven protocols to improve patient outcomes. But the best tool we all have is awareness. Knowing the symptoms can save lives. Think “T.I.M.E.” and spot the signs of sepsis: • T – Temperature: Fever or chills • I – Infection: Signs of infection (pain, redness, swelling, discharge) • M – Mental decline: Confusion, difficulty concentrating, or lethargy • E – Extremely ill: Feeling very sick, weak, or in severe pain 📝 Test your sepsis knowledge and scroll through our True or False Quiz. 🔗 Learn more: https://bit.ly/4gM1IRz #SepsisAwareness
