In 1923, the women of the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown (VIA) celebrated the opening of the Doylestown Emergency Hospital by rolling up their sleeves. As the founders of the eight-bed hospital, they took on tasks ranging from hiring and managing staff to fundraising, painting, and weeding. They were driven by a commitment to the community and the hospital’s mission “to continuously improve the quality of life and proactively advocate for the health and well-being of the individuals we serve.” A century later, the VIA continues to lead the way, along with the many dedicated members of our community who through stewardship, philanthropy, and volunteerism are at the heart of Doylestown Hospital’s tradition of treating the whole person.
