Blackson views the program as a way to renew small businesses and, possibly, entire neighborhoods. “It could be a great way to boost civic pride,” Blackson said. “I think there's loads of potential to make it a project that's not about just paint and brushes.”

Urgent Care, Right in Your Backyard

It’s not your family doctor’s office and it’s not an emergency room. The Temple Health ReadyCare center in Jenkintown is something in between. The medical facility is Temple’s newest urgent care center providing an alternative to the ER for less critical medical issues and in most cases, with a shorter wait. “They are able to do more things than the average primary care office, but yet not require the services of an emergency room and compete for the time and attention of the physicians,” says Temple Physicians Inc. Chief Executive Officer Dr. Marc Hurowitz.
