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.
Lankenau Initiative to Improve Cardiovascular Access (LIICA)
Lankenau Initiative to Improve Cardiovascular Access (LIICA) is aimed at ensuring our local, medically-underserved patients have access to the resources they need to recover from significant cardiac events and remain healthy, with the goal of improving long-term outcomes and saving lives. The strategy is to provide secondary cardiovascular event prevention care by first understanding the unique individual and environmental factors this population faces and then working to address these challenges. It is being spearheaded by Dr. Mara Caroline and physician assistant Amanda McClendon who are partnering with an impressive, interdisciplinary team to execute the program. Philanthropy has the opportunity to address some of the common barriers to care that the LIICA team has identified in working with our community. Ultimately, we hope to build a scalable and replicable program that can have impact far beyond our initial pilot program and service area.
Lankenau Institute for Medical Research (LIMR) Cardiovascular Research Systemwide Campaign
Cardiovascular research has been a mainstay at Main Line Health since 1927 when the Lankenau Institute for Medical Research (LIMR) was founded, and it continues today with our program playing an important role in transforming the field of cardiovascular medicine from traditional to non-invasive therapies. Investing in the following strategic initiatives will help us push the boundaries of science and spearhead new treatments.
Radiology Master Facility Plan/Imaging Campaign at Bryn Mawr Hospital
Efforts are underway to raise $2 million to support a multi-phase radiology facility plan to bolster and redesign imaging services. In this project, major imaging equipment (MRI, CT, X-Ray) will be relocated and upgraded and future plans include endoscopy, interventional radiology, and ultrasound.
This project will equip Bryn Mawr Hospital with the latest technology; provide more accurate images for diagnoses; drastically decrease scan times; facilitate improved flow for diagnosis and treatment; offer a more efficient, quieter, and more comfortable experience for patients; and allow Bryn Mawr Hospital to better serve a growing outpatient population.
Bed expansion at Paoli Hospital
In recent years, a combination of factors including the closure of other hospitals in Chester County, a greater severity of illness, and a continually aging population have resulted in unprecedented volumes throughout the hospital. To accommodate our growing number of patients, Paoli Hospital will expand the Emergency Department with eight additional beds and reconfigure an existing unit to add a 12-bed telemetry-capable unit by summer 2024.
Given the current healthcare fiscal environment, donations from our friends in the community for essential investments such as the Paoli Hospital Bed Expansion help us care for our patients in an efficient, timely manner. Thank you for considering a donation to this vital project.
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.
