Bringing Penn Medicine Expertise to the Community

Patients throughout the region are realizing they don?t have to travel to Philadelphia to see a Penn Medicine physician. In many suburban communities, Penn Medicine is right around the corner.

Beginning with the opening of its first multispecialty site in Radnor in the 1990s, Penn has focused on bringing its expert services and nationally recognized physicians to the communities it serves. Following the model established in Radnor, multispecialty Penn Medicine medical buildings were opened in Bucks County and Cherry Hill, NJ.

In 2010, Penn Medicine extended its reach into the suburbs with two new state-of-the-art medical centers, Valley Forge and Woodbury Heights.

Valley Forge, a 90,000-square-foot outpatient medical building at the intersection of Chesterbrook Boulevard and Swedesford Road in Chester County, opened in July 2010. It is home to a large family medicine practice, on-site laboratory and radiology services and specialists.

This location also serves as a primary care training site for University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine students.

Designed as a ?green building? and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design- (LEED) certified, the building?s design reduces water runoff and uses less energy. Construction is also under way for a same-day surgery center that is expected to open in 2012.

Located at 1006 Mantua Pike in Woodbury Heights, New Jersey, this facility is a 30,000-square-foot outpatient medical building with Penn primary care, obstetrics and gynecology, specialty care physicians, on-site laboratory services, and physical therapy.

Like the other community-based medical centers, the Bucks County facility provides expert primary care and specialty health care, plus a full range of services to residents of Bucks County. Now families can see their primary care physician, consult with a specialist, get lab work and radiology services all in one place.

Cherry Hill was the first multispecialty facility to bring Penn Medicine physicians to South Jersey. Along with a large family medicine practice, lab and radiology, physicians from several specialties see patients at Cherry Hill.

The model for Penn?s community-based practices, Radnor offers services in over 40 medical specialties. In addition to physician appointments, Penn Medicine patients also have access to on-site lab and radiology services, a pharmacy and optical shop.

A variety of on-site health education programs are offered in the spring and fall. Open to the public at no charge, the Mainly Your Health programs feature Penn Medicine physicians and clinicians who discuss the latest treatment advances and ways to stay healthy. The Mainly Your Health lecture series is being expanded to several other Penn Medicine community locations.
