About Chester County Hospital
Chester County Hospital’s largest recent grants all go back into the hospital system itself, with three support grants to Chester County Hospital Foundation totaling $6,279,867 across 2023 to 2025. That pattern shows a funder centered on sustaining local care delivery rather than dispersing funds broadly. The foundation also backs Penn Medicine Chester Ctny Hosp Behav Health, signaling that behavioral health is a meaningful part of its giving alongside hospital operations. Recent grants show a local health system funder that uses large support awards for core institutional needs and smaller awards for adjacent public-health and service-capacity work. Chester County Hospital Foundation appears repeatedly in the grant list, including a $2,732,932 grant in 2023, a $1,862,709 grant in 2024, and a $1,684,226 grant in 2025. Another large grant, $1,504,574, went to Penn Medicine Chester Ctny Hosp Behav Health in Malvern, reflecting support for behavioral health within the same local care network. The recipient list also includes Chester Country Economic Development Foundation, the Chester County Health Department, and the Southeastern PA Organization of Nurse Leaders, which points to a funder that connects hospital care with county health capacity and workforce development.
