Good morning, West Chester. Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 3rd of August.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • On Tuesday, June 29, the YMCA of Greater Brandywine hosted a tour at its Upper Main Line branch where families and community members saw how the Bumblebee Adaptive Summer Camp offers a modified curriculum and higher staff-to-camper ratio for children with developmental delays and disabilities — the program uses specially trained counselors to support every child's needs.  VISTA Today

CRIME NEWS

  • Fatima DeMaria, a 65-year-old from Chester County, was federally indicted on eight counts each of asylum fraud and mail fraud for running an immigration scam in Oxford that tricked undocumented clients seeking work permits by charging high fees—federal prosecutors say she earned at least $1 million from the scheme.  MyChesCo

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • John Hershey founded one of North America’s oldest food forests on an eight-acre homestead in Downingtown in the 1940s by cultivating walnut, chestnut, persimmon and other trees that shaped the local landscape. Local advocates are preserving his legacy—200 original trees remain—and propagating more trees throughout the region.  VISTA Today

HEALTH NEWS

  • Delaware County’s healthcare system has been strained since Crozer Health closed as ambulance rides now average 29 minutes versus 9 minutes in 2018 and emergency room waits extend to 50 minutes—a delay that has already caused one death. Local emergency services have stepped in to transport patients, though timely care remains at risk.  VISTA Today
  • The Pennsylvania Insurance Department said insurers requested a 19%—the highest in over 10 years—increase for individual Affordable Care Act plans set to take effect next year, blaming rising medical costs and the loss of enhanced tax credits. The department will review the proposals and open a public comment period through Sept. 2, while local insurers like Independence Blue Cross, Keystone Health Plan East, and Jefferson Health Plans have also asked for rate hikes.  The Philadelphia Inquirer
