In March 2020, the novel coronavirus spreading across the globe began to take root in Bucks County. As early as January, Doylestown Health—a pillar of healthcare in our community since 1923—had already begun taking steps to ensure the safety of patients and staff, and mitigate the spread of the virus with new protocols and procedures.
