Overview

• The stand-alone facility at 1331 E. Wyoming Ave., a former Cancer Treatment Centers of America site, was purchased for $12 million and overhauled with $64 million in renovations and $38 million in grants, including gifts from the William Penn Foundation and the Percival Roberts, Jr. Trust.
• Capacity expands to 13 labor-and-delivery rooms, 32 maternity beds, and a 41-bed NICU that will relocate from the main campus and double in size.
• On-site services include outpatient OB/GYN, mammography, mental-health counseling, family medicine, pediatrics, same-day surgeries, and a WIC office.
• Temple delayed the July move after clinicians raised emergency-readiness concerns, and leaders say months of simulations and hands-on drills have prepared teams for the new layout.
• Labor-and-delivery emergencies will continue to be managed at Temple’s Broad Street Level 1 trauma center under a formal plan once routine births shift to the new site.
