Temple University Health System recently announced that its new campus will become a hospital for women’s health, pending the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s review and approval. The announcement comes after a group of key Temple Health stakeholders considered what mix of healthcare specialties at the new campus would best serve Temple’s patients and its community.

The campus will offer services focused on women’s health needs, including maternity care. The system’s newest campus allows Temple to expand and improve these services with private rooms for mothers and babies, clinical space for 12 labor and delivery/high-risk antepartum beds, 32 post-partum beds, 8 ICU beds, triage and stabilization area, an expanded neonatal unit, and more than 75 exam rooms, as well as radiology, mammography, MRI and CT.

The new campus also will offer specialty care for women, including general surgery, breast surgery, vascular surgery, urology, internal medicine, cardiology, endocrinology and behavioral health.

The new campus also provides much-needed administrative service space to replace the Temple Administrative Services Building. Temple anticipates the new administrative office space to become available for use by spring 2022.
