Doylestown Health celebrated a milestone of ONE VISION: The Campaign for Doylestown Health on Saturday, September 30th, when it celebrated the ribbon-cutting and dedication of the new Children’s Village early childhood education center.
The program, followed by a formal ribbon-cutting and tours, was the largest event hosted by Doylestown Health, with around 500 families, employees, supporters, legislators and others in attendance. The newly opened center welcomed 220 students “back to school” on October 2, 2023. Of those, roughly half are children of medical staff, nurses and other employees of Doylestown Health. The new Children’s Village is nearly double the size of the previous facility, designed to replicate a “village” setting, with colorful buildings connected together to form one warm, welcoming center for childcare, teaching and learning.
The former Children’s Village facility, which operated on the hospital campus for 35 years, was destroyed by a tornado in August 2020. While no one was seriously injured in the event, Children’s Village was damaged beyond repair. Soon after, Doylestown Health Foundation announced that a rebuild would be a new priority of ONE VISION: The Campaign for Doylestown Health. Support for the project included gifts from generous ONE VISION donors, as well as a $2 million grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program.
