Lehigh Valley Health Network Holds Ribbon-Cutting for Tower Place, Featuring Region's First Women's Health Center

[ Editor's note -- The following press release was issued by Lehigh Valley Health Network. ]

Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), part of Jefferson Health, recently cut the ribbon for two new health centers at Tower Place – Health Center at Tower Place and Women’s Health Center at Tower Place. These facilities are built on the former site of Bethlehem Steel’s Martin Tower, breathing new life into the site that has been empty for several years and establishing the region's first and only women's health center.

Joseph Cacchione, MD, Chief Executive Officer, Jefferson, welcomed community partners and colleagues. Dr. Cacchione spoke about the importance of LVHN and Jefferson Health coming together and what it means for the community and for Tower Place.

“The combination marked a new chapter in access, innovation, equity and opportunity for patients, colleagues, students and health plan members,” Dr. Cacchione said. “Tower Place is the latest example of Jefferson’s commitment to the health of this community. We will continue to make investments in all the regions legacy LVHN serves to make our communities healthier.”

The centers opened to patients July 15.

Bob Begliomini, President, Jefferson Health–Lehigh Valley Region, reiterated how the centers mark the ongoing commitment of Jefferson Health to invest in access to care.

“Our teams have worked tirelessly to plan, design and build these two centers,” Begliomini said. “They are an investment in health care in the region and will increase access to care in this community.”

Also in attendance was Amanda Flicker, MD, Interim System Clinical Leader for Women’s Health Service Line at Jefferson Health. Dr. Flicker commented on LVHN’s longstanding commitment to women’s health care.

“LVHN is proud to continue our more than 125-year history, which is rooted in empowering women,” Dr. Flicker said. “We continue that tradition today with the opening of the region’s first Women’s Health Center. LVHN is doing what’s right for women at every stage of life with personalized care, innovative treatments and unwavering support through comprehensive women’s services.”

Dr. Flicker noted that 80 percent of the LVHN workforce is comprised of women, and it has pioneered specialized programs with women in mind – such as the WAVES program for women experiencing postpartum depression, the Women's Heart and Vascular Program and the high-risk breast clinic.
