“At LCH, we’re committed to our community’s well-being, and we understand that mental health is just as important as physical health,” said Ronan W. Gannon, LCH CEO. “That’s why we’re thrilled to be accepting new patients for both in-person and telehealth appointments at our Pia Center for Behavioral Health at our West Grove location as well as our locations in Kennett Square and Oxford.”

“Taking care of your mental health is an act of self-love.” stated Cheryl B. Kuhn, CEO of the Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce. “With the implementation of this critically important center, we are taking another step to ensure our residents have access to the help they need, which is crucial given the continued need for these services.”
