Despite storms, Main Line Health didn’t miss a beat
Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital, and all of the Main Line Health hospitals, remained open, operational and ready to serve patients throughout the extreme weather this winter season. Our staff went above and beyond, with many staff members staying late, coming in early or even sleeping over, to ensure our patients continued to receive the care and attention they needed. Staff members truly illustrated their commitment to offering a superior patient experience.
Local newspapers reported that Main Line Health teams prepare for emergency situations such as extreme weather throughout the year, and all staff is prepared to ensure that the hospitals continue to run smoothly.
In a message to employees, Main Line Health President and CEO Jack Lynch thanked “our employees, physicians and volunteers for their commitment to delivering a superior patient experience during the hazardous winter storms… Other special thanks go out to all of the maintenance crews who’ve worked tirelessly to make sure the grounds of our hospitals and facilities were clear and safe for our patients and employees.”

Grateful patient testimonial
A recent patient, Barbara P., expressed her appreciation for the care she received while being treated at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital:
“Bryn Mawr Rehab is an outstanding hospital. My therapists and nurses made sure I felt kindness and consideration during a difficult time. They had just the right blend of encouragement and challenge. Thanks to them, I felt my progress and I understood how to reach my goal of independent living. The facility, the employees and the care made Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital shine.”
Nutrition Services team receives kudos
“The hospital cafeteria is the best deal in town. It is so well stocked and offers better quality food than any other hospital cafeteria where I have eaten.
There is something for everyone. It is a bright and warm environment and the people are so friendly. If you want a high-quality meal for a great price, this is the place. It is so convenient for visitors to eat there instead of driving and finding a restaurant when everything is right there!”
