Danielle Budash Newkam is a licensed psychologist and a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S) in Hershey. Newkam primarily conducts individual therapy with young children coping with internalizing and externalizing disorders and trauma histories. Newkam also enjoys children’s books and has combined her passion for bibliotherapy and play therapy into her therapeutic work with children.
Throughout her professional career, Newkam has always dreamed of writing a children’s book of her own. With help from her new collaborators, 3Kiddos Publishing and The Italic Illustrator, that dream has been realized. Newkam released her debut title, “Ruff! Ruff! Remi Teaches Relationship Tools” in March 2023.
Remington, otherwise known as Remi, is the star character in the story and in Newkam’s life. Remi is the Newkam family Labradoodle, and he accompanies Newkam to work several days a week.
In “Ruff! Ruff! Remi
Teaches
Newkam has turned Remi’s innate ability to console, connect, and teach students into a playful, interactive story. Remi teaches children the tools they need to build positive relationships with others, including furry canine friends. Her story is also intended to be read to individuals or groups to promote social/emotional learning skills with an animal-assisted therapeutic element.
Newkam’s has also published a sequel, “Ruff! Ruff! Remi Super Skills for School,” and there will be a third installment soon to be released. The Ruff! Ruff! Remi series is available online through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Walmart. Newkam is available to visit and read Ruff! Ruff! Remi to day cares, preschools and classrooms. Book signing opportunities are also available.

Homeland Center and Homeland at Home, which provides a full continuum of services to care for residents, patients and clients, has earned deficiency-free survey results across all five of its care services based on routine annual examination by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) for the survey year 2022-23. The results signify 100% survey compliance with all federal and state standards of care.
The health care services earning the deficiency-free rating are Skilled Nursing and Personal Care at Homeland Center, Homeland Home Health, Homeland HomeCare and Homeland Hospice.
Occupying a full block in uptown Harrisburg, Homeland Center is a licensed not-for-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community offering personal care, skilled nursing care, memory care and short-term rehabilitation. Homeland at Home provides hospice care (compassionate end-of-life care), home health services (in-home physician-ordered medical treatment), home care services (in-home non-medical
daily living assistance) and palliative care (comfort and relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness).
Earlier in 2023, Homeland HomeHealth and Homeland Hospice were named 2023 CAHPS Honors Award recipients by HEALTHCAREfirst, a national provider of services for hospice and home health agencies. The awards recognize Homeland for continuously providing a positive patient experience and high-quality of care based on results of the Home Health Care CAHPS survey, a nationally recognized tool to assess and improve patient care and patient and caregiver satisfaction.
Homeland’s tradition of care began 156 years ago after the Civil War. Eighteen women from nine churches in the city of Harrisburg came together to consider what could be done to help orphans and widows. In 1867, the group chartered the “Society for the Home for the Friendless” and raised funds to begin operating what today is Homeland Center and Homeland at Home.
For information about Homeland and its services, visit www.homelandcenter .org or www.homelandat home.org.
