Let
me introduce you to Lankenau Medical Center – one of the Philadelphia
region’s healthcare leaders. At Lankenau, we combine the finest
patient care, medical education and research with the deepest commitment
to improving the health of our community.
This is an exciting time in Lankenau’s history. In 2013, our soaring new
Heart & Vascular Pavilion will open. This modern facility will
enable our staff to offer care in a comfortable, technologically
advanced environment. The transformative changes don’t stop there. In
recent years we have added a new Comprehensive Breast Center, a
state-of-the-art Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, an all-new
Interventional Gastroenterology Suite, and an additional 1,300- parking
spaces.
But Lankenau is so much more than new facilities and buildings. The
heart of our organization is our people. To explain what I mean, I often
share the following words from the husband of one of our patients:
"Within five blocks of our downtown home are two
university-affiliated hospitals, but we believed that Lankenau would be
best able to meet our needs. What we found exceeded our expectations.
Perhaps the thing that struck us the most is that everyone at Lankenau
really does seem to care. I’m not just talking about the doctors and
nurses. I’m also talking about the parking valet, the desk staff, the
cafeteria workers, the pharmacy staff, the gift shop staff, and the
kitchen employees. Everybody. Everyday. In countless ways, the entire
staff lets you know they care. They anticipated needs. They took time to
answer questions. They were precise and professional in their work. They
were friendly. They were compassionate. They cared. And, in turn, we
felt well cared for."
This attention to detail…this commitment to excellence…this kindness we
show to our patients – this is spirit that is found at all levels of our
organization. Lankenau Medical Center will continue to excel because of
our superb healthcare professionals, the dedication of our employees and
the participation of our community members who give of their time and
treasure to help us constantly improve our institution. Lankenau is
proud to be here...for you!
Yours in good health,
Phil Robinson
President, Lankenau Medical Center
