Nemours opening 3 new suburban Philadelphia children's health centers
Quote:
Nemours Children’s Health is planning a multimillion-dollar expansion in southeastern Pennsylvania highlighted by the opening of three additional specialty care sites by the winter of 2024.
The Wilmington pediatric health system plans to open new care centers in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties at a cost of about $40 million.
The first of those centers is scheduled to open next week in the Price Medical Building on the Jefferson Abington Hospital campus. Future centers will be in Broomall and Malvern.
Opening on Oct. 12, Nemours Children’s Health, Abington will offer specialties including cardiology [pediatric and fetal], endocrinology, gastroenterology, nephrology, neurology, nutrition, orthopedics, and pulmonology. Audiology and otolaryngology are planned for January. Its services will be relocated and expanded from the Nemours’ Willow Grove specialty care location.
During the spring of 2023, Nemours will relocate services provided at its Bryn Mawr and Newtown Square locations to Nemours Children’s Health, Broomall at Broomall Commons. The 19,000-square-foot outpatient pediatric specialty care center at 2940 Springfield Road will offer diagnostic services and 14 medical and surgical specialties, as well as physical, occupational and speech therapies.
In the winter of 2024, Nemours will open its third planned new location — Nemours Children’s Health, Malvern — in Uptown Worthington at 455 Carnegie Blvd. The site will feature an ambulatory surgery facility and comprehensive pediatric care center offering 22 medical and surgical specialties. It will also feature a sleep center, as well as physical, occupational and speech therapies.
Corso said the plans to consolidate the Bryn Mawr and Newtown Square sites began well before Main Line Health decided switch pediatric affiliation partners.
"The timing actually coincided with our leases expiring in spring," Corso said. "We had already begun discussions with Main Line Health. We really wanted to create a more expansive footprint in one easy to access location where there was more parking easy. This will allow us to consolidate and expand our services."
Nemours had run out of space in the two existing buildings and the Broomall location gave it an opportunity to customize the design, Corso said.
The Malvern site is being created to be the system's "comprehensive ambulatory surgery" location for families in southeastern Pennsylvania who don't require inpatient care, which will continue to be provided at its Wilmington children's hospital.
The center on the Abington Hospital campus will more than double the space it has at its Willow Grove location and allow it to expand its array of services at the site.
