Senator John C. Rafferty, Jr.,
R-44th, has presented a $100,000 check to the board of
directors of the Brandywine Health Foundation for the
new Brandywine

“The Brandywine Health Foundation board is to
be commended for their vision in providing a state
of the art facility to meet the health care needs of
the greater Coatesville area residents,” Rafferty
said, adding the state grant was spent on modern health
equipment.
Last spring, the Brandywine
Center, located in the 700 block of Lincoln Highway,
opened its doors to reach out to residents in need
of primary care, dental and mental health services,
who have had no comprehensive medical home – until
now. The 48,000-square-foot, 4-story center provides
24 units of affordable housing to low income seniors
as well. This is the first major development project
in the City of Coatesville in more than three decades.
“The foundation’s board of directors is
immensely grateful to Senator Rafferty for his efforts
in securing a $100,000 grant from the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania to assist with the costs associated with
furnishings and equipment for the new center,” said
Frances Sheehan, President and CEO of the Brandywine
Health Foundation.
“He has helped to make this project a reality
for our community so that the foundation could help to
improve the health of those living in the greater Coatesville
area, meet some of the need for affordable housing in
this affluent county, and aid in the economic development
of the city of Coatesville,” Frances Sheehan added.
The new Brandywine
Center provides a full range of behavioral, dental
and primary health services as well as affordable senior
housing.
