The most recent campaign took place in November and December 2014. The Branch collected needed supplies to help make emergency room visits as comfortable as possible. Supplies included cell-phone chargers, activity books and games for children, and monetary donations to help purchase additional items. All together Diamond was able to present the Emergency Department with two boxes of supplies and a $1,000 donation. "No one ever expects to end up in the emergency room, and we hope these supplies can help make a difficult situation easier to handle. We are thankful for our partnership with the Reading Health System and all of our members who embrace the Diamond Cares initiative and make donations for these well- deserving departments," stated Terri Page, Manager of Diamonds Reading Health System Branch. The Emergency Department is the fifth Reading Health System department to benefit from a Diamond Cares donation drive over the past three years. Previous donation drives have benefited the Oncology Department, Rehabilitation Hospital, Womens Health Center, and Spruce Pavilion. Diamond Credit Union is the 18th largest credit union in Pennsylvania and is headquartered in Pottstown, Pa., with four additional offices. Diamond serves Berks County and the Tri-County Region and holds over $450 million in assets with over 50,000 members.
