Impact of Philanthropy at Bryn Mawr Hospital
Throughout its history, philanthropy has sustained and advanced Bryn Mawr Hospital. Gifts from friends and grateful patients enable capabilities beyond what you might expect from a community hospital and fund many core programs and services that the Hospital alone cannot support.

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) bronchoscopy is a procedure used to diagnose different kinds of lung problems, including infections or cancer. Performed by a pulmonologist, EBUS bronchoscopy uses a flexible tube that goes through your mouth and into your windpipe and lungs. The EBUS scope has a video camera with an ultrasound probe attached to take images of your lungs and nearby lymph nodes to accurately locate and evaluate areas seen on x-rays or scans that need a closer look. This technology brings a new imaging and diagnostic capability to Bryn Mawr Hospital.
Assistance for patients in need to cover medical bills, medications, transportation, home care, medical respite, dialysis and cremation services.
The return of our complementary inpatient therapies including pet therapy, therapeutic music, aromatherapy and reiki.
