The Crozer-Keystone Community Foundation, a public charity founded in 2016 and the largest philanthropy serving Delaware County, recently honored a number of women at the 25th Anniversary Dinner for Women’s & Children’s Health Services in Delaware County.

Honorees included:

• Maryann Phillip and Adrianne Cruz, Supporters of Cribs for Kids

The 25th Anniversary Dinner completed a week-long series of events to celebrate 25 years serving and partnering with families to help the youngest citizens get off to the best possible start in life. Now part of the CKCF, these services include gold standard programs like Healthy Start, the Nurse-Family Partnership, Cribs for Kids, and the Center for Hispanic Resources.

Hundreds of families each year receive home visiting case management and personal nurse services, legal advocacy, services for Spanish speaking families, and parenting and health education.

CKCF is headquartered in Media with service offices in Chester, Upper Darby, and Springfield. Beginning in early 2018, CKCF will build on its existing public health programs to make grants to improve the health and quality of life for the diverse residents of Delco, with emphases that include maternal and children’s health, hospice and home care, and support for those living with cancer.
