Tower Health Explores Partnership

with Pottstown Schools

Leaders from Tower Health recently visited Pottstown High School to explore opportunities for expanding student experiences in the district’s health occupations program.

During the visit, Rich McLaughlin, President and CEO of Tower Health Pottstown and Phoenixville, and Dr. Myra Forrest, President of the Pottstown Hospital Board, toured the program’s facilities and met with students and staff. Discussions included potential partnerships such as hospital field trips, internship opportunities and equipment support, all aimed at enhancing hands-on learning.

District representatives emphasized that connecting students with real-world industry experiences is a key part of preparing them for future careers in healthcare and beyond.

VIBE Innovation Hub Celebrates

Grand Opening in Pottstown

The TriCounty Area Chamber of Commerce joined community leaders in celebrating the grand opening and ribbon cutting of The VIBE Creative Social Innovation Hub in Pottstown.

Located at 249 E. High Street, the new hub brings together a range of programs and organizations focused on creativity, workforce development and community empowerment. The space is home to initiatives including The STRIVE Initiative, Be ReZilient, FORCE and the VIBE Café, all designed to support mentorship, entrepreneurship, wellness and career exploration.

The project, led by David Charles and Denise Williams, aims to create opportunities for leadership development, minority business support and hands-on training, including access to an education and training commercial kitchen.

Visitors can also enjoy offerings from local partners such as Britton Coffee Company and Bruster’s, adding to the hub’s welcoming, community-centered atmosphere.

Leaders say the opening represents a significant investment in Pottstown’s future, providing a space where innovation and opportunity can thrive.

Food Truck Event on May 1st Supports

Local Student-Athletes

Local athletes will benefit from an upcoming Spring Sports Fundraiser at Pottstown High School, featuring a food truck event with a Caribbean-inspired menu.

The fundraiser will take place on Friday, May 1 from 5 to 9 p.m. in the high school parking lot. Hosted by Caribbean Paradise Express, the event will offer a variety of meal options, including jerk chicken, curry chicken, wings, shrimp, beef and vegetarian dishes, along with sides and drinks.

Attendees are encouraged to mention a specific Pottstown sports team when ordering, as a portion of proceeds will be directed to support that team.

Organizers say the event is a great way for the community to enjoy food while contributing to local student-athletes.
