Patient Takes Longtime WellSpan Physician for Ride in Restored Model T

Eighty-eight-year-old Don Bentzel invited his longtime WellSpan physician, Dr. John Keenan, for a ride in his fully restored 1915 Model T Speedster.

WellSpan said the ride reflected a relationship that has developed through years of medical appointments, trust and shared milestones. The health system said learning about patients’ goals, values and lives helps providers deliver more personalized care.

More information about WellSpan Primary Care is available at wellspan.org.

Who We Are

The Franklin County Free Press, established by Vicky Taylor in 2019, emerged as a beacon of local journalism for the residents of Franklin County. Under Vicky's leadership, it quickly became an essential source of news, particularly at a time when major newspaper publications were increasingly overlooking local coverage.

On January 1, 2022, the torch was passed to Nathan Neil and his firm, Neil Publishing, LLC. Neil, a local entrepreneur with multiple thriving businesses in Chambersburg, shares Vicky's fervent commitment to both the community and the world of local journalism.

Rooted in the heart of Franklin County and powered by its residents, the Franklin County Free Press continues to bridge the gap, ensuring that the local stories, events, and issues that matter most to the community remain in the spotlight.
