Northeastern Hospital to Transition to Northeastern Ambulatory Care Center
Date:3/23/2009

Inpatient services will transition to Temple University Hospital

PHILADELPHIA, March 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Temple University Health System announced today that Northeastern Hospital will transition from an inpatient hospital to a multi-specialty ambulatory care center by July 1, 2009.

The new Northeastern Ambulatory Care Center will focus on prenatal care and family health, offer non-emergency walk-in care, and provide outpatient specialty services such as cancer care, cardiac care, digestive disease care, orthopedics (bone, joint, and muscle care) and occupational health. Full radiology services and routine lab work will be available on-site.

Northeastern Hospital will begin reducing inpatient services in May, and end all inpatient and emergency services by June 30, 2009. The Northeastern campus will be redeveloped by attracting other health and social-service tenants.

A full program of healthcare outreach and education will be provided at Northeastern Ambulatory Care Center including in the areas of asthma, diabetes, heart failure, nutrition, pregnancy care, smoking cessation and weight management. On an ongoing basis, addi
