Lankenau Hospital to Open Cutting Edge Heart Pavilion

Lankenau Hospital’s new five-story, 274,000-square-foot Heart Pavilion—located on the hospital’s 100 E. Lancaster avenue campus—is opening its doors for the first time on July 25. 

The center, which is the center of the hospital’s $465 million master facility project, will provide area heart patients a wide assortment diagnostic and treatment services—all under one roof.

Main Line Health communications director Bridget Therriault said the space will allow Lankenau's cardiology staff to more closely coordinate their efforts.

“The groups already collaborate on patient cases, but [in the new pavilion] they’re physically at such a close distance that it makes the collaboration all the richer.”

Therriault said, by way of example, that a patient could visit their cardiologist in one room and then, if necessary, see their surgical team just down the hall.

“Patients can travel [in the center] with ease,” Therriault added. “The whole building is designed around the patient, to make it more accessible.”

The first two floors of the building are home to the Lankenau Heart Group while the top three floors house inpatient rooms.

Among the other amenities of the center boasts are a new ICU, 44 exam rooms, a cardiac research program, and some of the most advanced diagnostic equipment available.

The center will have its grand opening on Thursday and host a community day celebration on Saturday. According to Therriault, the hospital expects to transfer inpatients to the Heart Pavilion by the end of the month, and start outpatient services shortly thereafter.
