Penn Medicine in the Community: Upcoming Events

Don't let a little bit of cold, and possibly some snowy weather, keep you from getting out of the house and enjoying this time of the year.

This winter, Penn Medicine will host or take part in numerous events throughout the tri-state area. These events provide our physicians and staff an opportunity to be closer to the people we serve and allow us to be more than simply a health care provider, but also a part of the community.

Penn Medicine Valley Forge at Wilson Farm Park Turkey Trot

What better way to begin your Thanksgiving Day than by participating in an event that benefits a great cause! Join hundreds as they run, walk or stroll to raise money for various programs within the community.

Be sure to set a few minutes aside to say “hi” to the physicians and staff from Penn Medicine Valley Forge. A state-of-the art facility, Penn Medicine Valley Forge provides expert primary and specialty health care, plus a full range of services.
