Horizon House is happy to share some of the wonderful pictures we took yesterday at our 30th Annual Golf Outing Classic in Memory of Dr. Larry Real. We had a great time providing an amazing experience to our golfers as they played their way around the Huntingdon Valley Country Club. The event was a huge success thanks to the beautiful weather, our awesome volunteers, and of course our generous sponsors. We would like to give a special thank you to our sponsors for their time and commitment to this very important day. This day would not be possible without their participation. Thanks for helping to make a positive impact on our programs and the participants we serve across the Philadelphia region! More pictures to come soon!

Horizon House is proud to share our participation in sponsoring a team in the Eagles Autism Challenge charity event that took place last Saturday. Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie was humbled by the efforts of nearly 4,500 participants who came together to raise a total of 6.2 million dollars for this wonderful mission. Even the rain could not stop all of the players, coaches, bikers, runners, and walkers from showing their support and enjoying this celebration. A huge thank you goes out to our awesome Horizon House team for taking part!

Horizon House was happy to team up with Community Health and Gardens, Inc. in West Philadelphia yesterday afternoon to plant some seeds in the dirt. We had a great volunteer turnout with some staff and participants from one of our Behavioral Health Services, the Wellness Alliance. Everyone had a wonderful time pitching in and getting their hands dirty. We raked, shoveled, pulled weeds, and watered the new seeds for this lovely community garden. To top it all off, the weather was sunny and perfect for a nice afternoon spent together!

Just as we were all looking forward to a sense of ‘normal,’ there has been a resurgence in the COVID-19 pandemic, fueled by the Delta Variant.

Throughout the pandemic, we have been encouraging all staff and participants to protect themselves and loved ones from COVID-19 by following safety protocols intended to prevent the spread of the virus. As vaccines became available, we encouraged staff and participants to listen to health officials and become vaccinated. As a health care provider, we must take this responsibility to each other as a high priority.

Over the last month, there have been federal, state and local mandates requiring staff to be vaccinated. Horizon House falls under these mandates and will now require all staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Anyone who does not get vaccinated by the agency deadline must get tested twice a week.

Who must be vaccinated? – All part-time and full-time Horizon House staff – All temp agency staff providing in-person » Continue Reading.

During his speech, Governor Wolf commented, “This project will turn a vacant lot into a centerpiece of this community – giving our families a place to get access to critical services. The strength of this project is the partnerships between groups that will bring much-needed services – I am proud that the commonwealth has invested in the New Market West project.” The project will be partially funded by the state’s $5 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program investment and $10.5 million in tax credits.

While 30th Street has served as the cornerstone of our Agency since its purchase in 1986, the neighborhood around us continues to change. With our service system’s moving to a more local community focus, we have entered into a partnership » Continue Reading.
