For 158 years, Reading Hospital has been the heartbeat of Berks County – caring for generations of families through life's most exciting and vulnerable moments.
To celebrate that incredible legacy and shape the future of healthcare in our community, we’re hosting our 1st Annual Reading Hospital Champions of Care Dinner on September 11, 2025, 5 to 8 p.m., at the DoubleTree Hotel in Reading.
About the Champions of Care Dinner
Reading Hospital has the region’s only Level I Trauma Center, and this year’s Champions of Care Dinner will benefit our award-winning Intensive Care Services. The need for support has never been more urgent as our ICU operates at 100% capacity. Expanding both our space and life-saving resources to accommodate more local patients in ICU, Trauma Intensive Care Unit, and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is critical.
In addition, we are excited to honor three Healthcare Champions who are doing tremendous work for Reading Hospital and the community:
