Following the Brandywine Hospital Closure, the Hea

Following the Brandywine Hospital Closure, the Health Equity Group of Greater Coatesville (formerly the Greater Coatesville Hospital Closure Group) convened and developed strategies to increase health access and affordability for Coatesville residents.
Over the past year, the Group conducted a survey with over 1,100 respondents, key informant interviews, and focus groups to determine the current health status of Coatesville. The Summary Report of the Hospital Closure Impact on Health Equity in Greater Coatesville describes the findings of this survey, as well as defines its Anchor Strategy to remove barriers to health and advance health equity to residents in Greater Coatesville.
Read the report using the link below. Physical copies will be available at The Alliance's office beginning June 13.

The Alliance for Health Equity (The Alliance) announces the appointment of Kevin Ressler (pictured) to be the incoming President and CEO starting July 10, 2023. Kevin Ressler will be departing as the CEO of United Way of Lancaster County. Kevin holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Eastern Mennonite University in Justice, Peace, and Conflict Studies and a Masters of Divinity from Lancaster Theological Seminary.
The Alliance conducted a national search for its President and CEO to ensure new leadership is strategically aligned with its mission and vision in health, equity, and resilience for a Greater Coatesville community. During Kevin’s tenure at United Way, he helped lead the organization into many new projects and initiatives such as Project SOS, a mutual aid effort involving COVID-19 stimulus check sharing; the Level Up & Launch community empowerment grants; and the recently revamped Project Blueprint, a training program which aims to create more equitable and inclusive organizational boards.
Valerie Martin, Chair of the Board of Directors stated: “The Alliance for Health Equity is delighted to welcome Kevin Ressler as its next Chief Executive Officer. He brings a deep background in nonprofit management and a passion for his work and the community. On behalf of the board and staff of The Alliance, we welcome him to the team and look forward to supporting his leadership as we all work together with our community partners to ensure that Coatesville is a healthy, equitable and thriving community”.
