PHOENIXVILLE, PA — Hospitalized patients and healthcare workers in hospitals are accustomed to grim reality and suffering. They face it every day, and tenfold as coronavirus has swelled patient populations in facilities around the world. But they're also privy to moments of quiet but profound triumph. One such moment was captured at Phoenixville Hospital on Wednesday when a patient who had been hospitalized for weeks was finally able to walk free. >>First Responders Parade Honors Phoenixville Hospital Workers The patient, a man named Corey, was originally diagnosed and treated at Chestnut Hill Hospital.
