- Reach Out and Read
(Delaware County Pediatric Patients)
Early language development is an important aspect of brain development. Encouraging parents to read to their children is an effective way to help children build language skills and promote more interaction between parents and small children. ChesPenn participates in the Reach Out and Read Program, which provides books to young children (6 months – 5 yrs.) during their well child visits with a pediatrician or family medicine provider.
- The McNeil Children’s Library
(Coatesville Pediatric Patients)
We also host the McNeil Children’s Library in the waiting room of the Coatesville office. Every child who visits the waiting room is encouraged to take home a new or like-new book.
