Mon Health and Mylan Park Extend Free Summer Movie Series Partnership

Mon Health System and Mylan Park launched a summer partnership to provide free community programs, including an outdoor movie series, trial swim lessons, as well as 10 hours of free track time each week (8-10am M-F) for the publicto use facilities at Mylan Park. Originally scheduled to end in early August, the free movie series has been extended into early September to provide more socially distanced entertainment for families.

“We are thrilled to extend this community offering through our partnership with Mon Health System,” said Keith Hernstrom, Mylan Park General Manager and Executive Director. “Mon Health is a community leader focused on enhancing the health of the area. By sponsoring this movie series, Mon Health helps us provide a healthy, safe environment for families to have some summer fun.”

New movies added to the schedule are Frozen 2 and Onward, both newer releases from Walt Disney. On Saturday, August 22, Frozen 2 will be featured and those in attendance are encouraged to wear costumes of their favorite character. In honor of September 11^th, the movie night scheduled for September 5 will be First Responder Appreciation Night. First Responders will receive several gifts throughout the evening, including free popcorn at the concession stand and four guest passes per family to utilize at Mylan Park facilities. Children are also invited to dress like a First Responder that evening.

All movies are free, open to the public and begin at 7:30 p.m. The event will comply with the current CDC and local COVID-19 guidelines, requiring guests to wear masks upon entry to the track. Once situated and socially distanced, masks may be removed while enjoying the movie. Concessions will be available as guests are prohibited from bringing outside food and beverages; no coolers are permitted. It is also recommended that guests bring their own seating or blankets to enjoy the film comfortably. 

“We are excited to extend the movie series in a unique way,” said David Goldberg, President and CEO of Mon Health System. “By hosting a First Responders Appreciation Night, we are able to host a fun night for families while also showing appreciation for our local heroes. We look forward to continuing to work alongside Mylan Park in bringing needed programs and opportunities like this to families in the area.”
