  Community Partners: Trevette Elementary

  Schools lay at the heart of the community as the constant link that tie people together. Each year Patient First donates to multiple schools in the Mid-Atlantic region to help support the needs of its students.  This year Maude Trevette Elementary School in Richmond, Virginia decided to focus their donation on the purchase of ukeleles.  Music instruction is a great way to help regulate emotions and focus on social and emotional development.  It also creates community, a sense of achievement, and is a great way to build self-confidence.  We hope that these musical instruments allow the kids a comfortable form of self-expression, while creating enjoyable interactions amongst their peers.

  Community Partners: Nitrauer Elementary School

  Every year, Patient First selects two elementary schools near each of its 77 centers as a community partner in an effort to further support the health and growth of neighborhood it serves. Our partnership begins with a donation to the school to fund projects or programs that directly benefit the students of each of our partner schools, but it doesn't end there. We continue to engage with the faculty, students and parents at each of these schools through community events like back-to-school nights, family resource nights, health and wellness fairs, school fun runs, and even fall and spring festivals. This week, we are showcasing Nitrauer Elementary as our Partner School of the Week. Located just minutes from our Lancaster center, Nitrauer has been a committed partner with Patient First for several years. This year, Patient First will be helping Nitrauer Elementary fund student assemblies, and a program of lunches recognizing good student behavior, culminating in a recognition of outstanding students for each quarter. Patient First thanks principal Smita Weakland, as well as the faculty, staff and students at Nitrauer Elementary for being such ...

  Community Partners: Algonkian Elementary

  The future is in reading. Recently, Patient First partnered with Algonkian Elementary School near the Sterling, VA location to sponsor their school literacy efforts. Patient First has longstanding partnerships with several school in the Greater D.C. area. The school used the donation to purchase decodable books which were needed in all grade levels. Decodable books encourage children to sound out words using decoding strategies rather than guessing from pictures or predicting from other cues. Algonkian Elementary is grateful for the donation from Patient First to help the readers of the future. "The books have been successful in helping our students become better readers," said Brian Blubaugh, Algonkian Elementary School Principal.

  Cooper Lane Elementary Community Block Party

  Cooper Lane Elementary School and the community held their Block Party on Friday, August 25th. Patient First is a proud sponsor of this event, and happy to be back! The event was held outside at the school's blacktop/playground area. It was a very hot and sunny day, but in spite of the heat we had lots of families lined up around noon. There was music playing for the entirety of the event, as well as snacks and free backpacks. Parents and students were also able to meet and greet their teachers.  Our Landover location is a mile down the road, so everyone that came to our table knew of Patient First! We heard great things about the care we provide, and how smooth-sailing everything is. We got a lot of questions regarding what school immunizations we provide and our self-pay pricing. Overall, we had a great time, everyone was so kind and grateful.  Patient First wishes an amazing school year to all the teachers and students at Cooper Lane Elementary! We hope to see you again next year.

  Community Day

  Patient First Community Day Each year at select Patient First Centers, we host a Community Day event that is fun, free, and open to the public. Activities include a bounce house, face painting, balloon animals, shaved ice, and more!  Patient First Community Days give our neighbors an opportunity to visit our center for some family-friendly fun, and to meet and engage with the Patient First staff.   For kids, it helps make going to see the doctor a little less intimidating and a lot more fun! In addition to a bounce house and face painting, there are lawn games with prizes for all, like yo-yos and balsa wood airplanes. When possible, a local fire truck and/or ambulance is on hand, giving children a chance to tour the vehicles and to meet and greet with our community’s first responders. Patient First Community Days are hosted at our centers in Manassas, Virginia; Lancaster, Pennsylvania; and Delran, New Jersey.  It is at these centers where we have sufficient space outside to host Community Day events. Keep an eye on our website announcements and social media channels ...
