“Pets are more than just companions. They can play an important role in supporting both physical and mental well-being. Research shows that pet ownership may help reduce stress, lower blood pressure and cortisol levels, and encourage a more active lifestyle. Regular exercise with a pet, such as daily walks, can improve cardiovascular health and contribute to a lower risk of heart disease.” Dr. Maulin Desai, the Tidewater and Richmond Regional Medical Director at Patient First.

For the second year in a row, Patient First was thrilled to join the Allentown School District’s Back to School Bash!

This school district is the third largest in Pennsylvania and includes 25 schools and more than 16,000 students. Each year, event organizers bring many people together at Allentown’s amazing Cedar Beach Park to kick off the new school year. This year we had beautiful weather and more than 100 vendors, activities, resources, food, and a popular backpack giveaway kept the energy fun all day.

Our Patient First tent stayed busy, too. Families stopped by for blood pressure checks, giveaways, and conversations about back-to-school and sports physicals, injury treatment, telehealth, and more. The day was especially meaningful for us because of our valued partnership with the Allentown School District, an Occupational Health client of Patient First.

We’re proud to be part of this great community and school district, and grateful to be welcomed back for another fantastic Back to School Bash event. Two years in, and we’re already looking forward to next year! We also hope to be invited to school events within the district since we love meeting parents and families, and of course teachers, principals and school personnel as well.

Big crowds, live music and temperatures pushing 100 degrees. Bethlehem, PA’s Musikfest 2026 had it all!

Patient First was excited to return to the Lehigh Valley for one of the area’s biggest annual celebrations. Named the Best Music Festival in the U.S. by the USA Today, the 43rd annual Musikfest is the country’s largest free music festival that attracts more than 1 million visitors over 10 days each year. This amazing event gave us an incredible opportunity to connect with the community and the region, since it attracts visitors from all over.

And connect we did.

Throughout the day, we met new residents, reconnected with past patients from across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and beyond, and heard plenty of kind words about the quality and accessibility of Patient First care, and how clean and inviting our centers are. Our team also provided blood pressure screenings for fest-goers throughout the day.

We powered through temperatures in the upper 90s while keeping the energy high and interacting with festivalgoers of all ages throughout the day and into the evening hours.

With free performances filling the festival grounds and country artist Bailey Zimmerman headlining the evening, there was no shortage of excitement and great music. Even Mother Nature cooperated, keeping the forecasted thunderstorms away.

Hot? Absolutely. Busy? You bet. Worth it? Without a doubt.

Musikfest remains one of our favorite “legacy” events, and we’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year.
