Renovating and Expanding

A New Era in Medicine

Lankenau Medical Center is committed to providing a superior patient experience. One that brings together the skilled expertise, advanced medical treatments and innovative technology of a full academic medical center with the comforts and convenience of a modern, suburban campus.

To meet this goal, Lankenau has undertaken the largest building expansion and renovation project since moving to our current location in 1953. This $500 million transformation will enable us to accommodate the growing needs of our community, attract and retain the best doctors and medical staff, and remain at the forefront of advances in medicine and research.
