  • Oxford Police arrested local man Joshua Davis (40) on May 20th after responding to a domestic disturbance on the 700 block of Market Street and discovering an active Chester County bench warrant (from an earlier investigation), charging him with assault and disorderly conduct with a preliminary hearing set for June 3rd.  MyChesCo

HEALTH NEWS

  • The Chester County Health Department released its Community Health Assessment this month, detailing rising chronic disease disparities, mental health concerns, and cost-of-living challenges in the region. The report—based on surveys from over 4,000 residents and community discussions—will guide the creation of a health improvement plan for the county.  MyChesCo
  • Pennsylvania's family caregivers provided an estimated $32.5 billion in unpaid care in 2024, up from $22 billion in 2023—showing their vital role amid a nursing shortage. State lawmakers advanced a paid family leave proposal in March—measures that may ease the financial burden on caregivers as the aging population grows.  VISTA Today
  • Data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services showed that emergency room visits at Chester County hospitals took between three and four hours yesterday, with Phoenixville Hospital reporting the shortest wait at (3 hours and 8 minutes) and Chester County Hospital averaging four hours.
