Jerome Abrams MD Spearheads Dover Playground


Posted November 7, 2014 by pzmediainc1

Jerome Abrams MD is a veteran physician who led development and construction of Picadilly Castle playground.

 
Jerome Abrams MD has been practicing family medicine for more than thirty years. He sees patients of all ages, including a lot of children. As the father of three boys, all of them now grown and on their own, he has always enjoyed being around kids, for the energy and vitality that they bring just by being themselves.

Jerome Abrams MD has involved himself in numerous community projects involving kids, including a more than ten year association with the Dover Children's Theatre. He also helped to organize a bicycle repair shop at the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, and spearheaded the construction of a community playground called Picadilly Castle.

Picadilly Castle sits in Brecknock County Park, a sprawling, eighty-six acre park in Kent County. The park features a number of historic buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries and offers multiple recreation activities. But one of its main attractions now is Picadilly Castle, the largest youth playground in the county.

Jerome Abrams MD led fundraising efforts for the playground, as well as its design and construction, and he has done everything in his power to encourage community involvement. Of course, getting kids to a playground is not a difficult thing to do. As a medical man, Jerome Abrams MD knows that there are two main reasons why outdoor play is important for children. They encourage the development of critical developmental tasks and behaviors like exploring, risk-taking, fine and gross motor development, and being exposed to vast amounts of basic knowledge. Second, and equally important, kids need to get outdoors and breathe fresh air. There are more and more things that keep kids inside, from excessive TV watching to video games and computer use. So getting children active at every opportunity, so that they may get as much physical exercise as possible, has never been more important.

Jerome Abrams MD is justifiably proud of the role he played in conceiving and developing Picadilly Castle. He was Board Certified in family medicinein1980, was in private practice at Dover Family Physicians from 1983 to 2013, and has recently opened a new family practice called Family Medicine of Smyrna-Clayton. He believes in getting to know each of his patients as individuals, which he says fosters complete care.
