School Partnership Programs

One of Patient First’s major community initiatives is supporting local schools and working together to provide students and teachers with the resources needed to succeed. Patient First has partnered with over 100 schools within our communities to help foster a positive and productive learning environment. Some of our partnerships have helped facilitate upgrades in school technology, mathematics programs, arts programs, reading programs, athletics, educational field trips, and more.

We will be highlighting specific school partnerships in the future to show some of the awesome work that schools are doing to improve the educational experience for their students.  Stay tuned!

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 to learn when the next Community Day will take place.  We can’t wait to see you there!
