The Jack Lynch Cancer Initiative: Closing Gaps in Care at Main Line Health

For twenty years, Jack Lynch has led Main Line Health in providing hope and healing to thousands of our family members, friends and neighbors. In Jack's honor, we are pleased to launch the Jack Lynch Cancer Initiative: Closing Gaps in Care at Main Line Health, which will provide resources, education, and support to help people understand their cancer risk, access life-saving screenings, and navigate treatment options. Main Line Health will also engage in research to uncover the complex interplay of biology and societal factors contributing to unequal cancer burdens.

With your help, we aim to raise at least $5 million to launch and endow the Jack Lynch Cancer Initiative. Thank you for considering a contribution to this special undertaking as we honor Jack's lasting impact at Main Line Health.

Labor and Delivery renovation at Lankenau Medical Center

Lankenau Medical Center has launched a critical $10 million initiative to refresh its Labor and Delivery Unit. With the last major upgrade nearly 20 years ago, updates are essential to enhance Lankenau’s nurses station, labor rooms, the physician resource room, locker rooms and the surrounding patient environment through technology upgrades and renovations. Our goal is to provide the best care in the most efficient and comfortable manner for patients. The project will also enable Lankenau to continue to attract top OB physicians, residents and staff.

With the support of generous donors, this vital renovation will ensure every family who entrusts us with one of life’s exciting moments experiences an environment that matches the exceptional care delivered by our dedicated physicians, nurses and care teams.

Lankenau Institute for Medical Research (LIMR) upgrades

A hub for innovative medical research, LIMR is undergoing a series of renovations to maintain its state-of-the-art facilities. Capital projects include updates to several shared areas that are original to the building for enhanced safety and usability. Needed equipment upgrades include an update to the BD FACS Aria III, a cell sorter that enables the isolation of specific populations of cells for experiments. Another high priority need is the purchase of the Azure Bio 600, an imaging system used to analyze DNA and proteins that would replace outdated equipment and provide better quality data and images for publications and grants.

Contributions from community members help accelerate LIMR’s ability to make these and other needed improvements, enabling our renowned scientists to continue driving groundbreaking advances.

Bryn Mawr Hospital outpatient site in Devon

Bryn Mawr Hospital is seizing a development opportunity to build a new outpatient site in Devon that will offer essential services including X-Ray, MRI, ultrasound, CT, physical therapy, labs and primary care. This investment expands Main Line Health's footprint along the route 30 corridor, making our services more convenient for community members. It will also significantly enhance patient navigation and accessibility, respond to growing demand for cardiac MRI imaging and address the instability of independent primary care practices in the region.

Efforts are underway to raise $1 million for the new Devon site, which will provide critical capital for renovations and state-of-the-art medical equipment. This investment will allow Bryn Mawr Hospital to deliver high-quality, accessible care in a modern, community-based setting, strengthening both its service to patients and its long-term sustainability.

Ambulances at Riddle Hospital

Nearly 40 years ago, Riddle Hospital's EMS Unit was launched with one ambulance loaned by the Lima Ambulance Service to support fire companies in the surrounding communities. Now, Riddle Hospital's EMS Unit provides 24-hour emergency coverage in response to dispatched 911 calls for the following local municipalities: Concord, Middletown, Media, Newtown, and many others in the Delaware County region.

The award-winning service is currently relying on aging vehicles and needs to purchase two van-style ambulances and a special resource ambulance equipped to transport bariatric patients. Given the current health care fiscal environment, donations from our friends in the community for essential investments such as new ambulances at Riddle Hospital help us care for our patients in the most efficient, timely manner. Thank you for considering a donation to this key project.

Creative arts at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital

Elevating the Creative Arts Therapy Program to new heights necessitates vital endowment support. The endowment is instrumental in supporting the Art and Music Therapy programs, contributing to therapist positions, extending treatment hours for patients, and supplying essential resources and supplies for therapists. This encompasses patient activity resources, support group provisions, and various other necessities. The strategic aim is to fully endow the Creative Arts Therapy Program, ensuring the Foundation maintains perpetual funding dedicated specifically to this invaluable initiative.

HomeCare & Hospice

HomeCare & Hospice is dedicated to enriching quality of life for patients whose independence and dignity can best be preserved by receiving health care services and products in the home. Because third party reimbursement covers only part of the cost of home care, hospice and palliative care, charitable support provided by committed friends and donors can make a real difference.
