🚧 Sometimes, and with the right partners, a challenge becomes an opportunity.

When Leg Up Farm recognized its current funding model couldn't sustain all of its pediatric services, the organization became determined to minimize disruption for the families who depend on them.

They called their friends at Family First Health, and plans for the new “Family First Health at Leg Up Farm” began to take shape. Under this innovative model, pediatric occupational, speech, and physical therapy services will remain on site at Leg Up Farm, with the therapists becoming part of the Family First Health team.

Leg Up Farm will continue to operate as an independent nonprofit, providing mental health therapy, equine-assisted therapy, nutrition counseling, and summer camps.

YCCF and the Memorial Health Fund (a supporting organization of YCCF) are so proud to support this forward-thinking solution that puts children and families first.

A new approach, familiar faces, continued care: now that’s community collaboration in action 🤝

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

We’re celebrating Jeff Lobach, the newest member of YCCF’s Professional Advisor Recognition Society!

Jeff has been part of YCCF’s story for more than a decade, first as our legal counsel and then as a Board member for 13 years, including two years as Board Chair during the earliest days of the pandemic. Today, he continues to serve as Chair of our Social Impact Investment Committee.

A partner at Barley Snyder, Jeff recently wrapped up a record 10-year run as the firm’s managing partner and CEO. But his work as an attorney has taken him far beyond boardrooms and business transactions. He led a nationally recognized pro bono effort on behalf of the Chinese refugees of the Golden Venture and successfully represented a Tiananmen Square pro-democracy activist.

Jeff has spent his career putting his expertise to work for his community. As a YCCF fundholder and member of our 1749 Legacy Society, he also puts his philanthropy where his professional advice is: helping build a stronger York County for generations to come.

Congratulations, Jeff, and thank you for all the ways you continue to invest in our community!

🤖 AI isn't coming for your job. It's coming to help you do your job 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧.

At today’s Professional Advisor Breakfast, Matt Reiner, Managing Partner of Capital Investment Advisors, challenged advisors to look past the hype and think practically about how technology and artificial intelligence can strengthen their firms, deepen client relationships, and prepare for what’s next.

Matt shared insights into the behaviors and expectations shaping today’s clients, along with real-world strategies for using emerging technology to work smarter, reach new clients, and build a practice that can continue to evolve.

We hope everyone left with some actionable strategies and a reminder that the robots may have the algorithms, but the advisors still have the relationships.
