Surgery Recovery Starts Before Surgery

Many patients prepare extensively for the procedure itself — but recovery preparation often gets overlooked.

Healing increases demand for nutrients involved in tissue repair, immune support, collagen production, and recovery. HealFast was designed specifically to support the body before and after surgery with physician-formulated nutritional support created for the recovery process.

Instead of scrambling afterward, many patients now prepare for recovery before surgery even happens.

Because supporting recovery starts long before the procedure is over.

Pottstown Library Announces

Elevator Replacement Project

The Pottstown Regional Public Library is notifying patrons that its elevator is currently out of service and will require a complete replacement, resulting in a lengthy repair process expected to last several months.

During the replacement project, access to the library’s upper and lower floors will be available only by stairs. Library staff are encouraging patrons with mobility or accessibility concerns to reach out for assistance.

Staff members are available to retrieve books and materials from areas that may be difficult to access, including the Youth Department and Mezzanine/Balcony Level. The library is also committed to making accommodations whenever possible to ensure patrons can continue participating in programs and events held throughout the building.

For assistance with:

  • Youth Department materials or programs: Contact Angelica Masser at [email protected] or 610-970-6551 ext. 104

  • Mezzanine/Balcony materials or programs: Contact Megan Bealer at [email protected] or 610-970-6551 ext. 102

Library officials thanked patrons for their patience and understanding as work moves forward on the elevator replacement.
