Discover how public health impacts all of us at Mocktails & Meaning™ on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 6:30 PM in the Main Lobby. Retired surgeon and public health advocate Dr. Edward Chory, who serves on the Board of the Partnership for Public Health, will lead a conversation about the current state of public health in Lancaster County and the potential benefits of establishing a county health department. Together, we’ll explore how public health initiatives influence the well-being of our communities, what a local health department could mean for Lancaster County, and why these conversations matter to all of us. We’ll be serving a mocktail (to be announced) 🍹, with plenty of time for questions, discussion, and meaningful dialogue.
