Nurses conducting morning rounds at Einstein Healthcare Network on Veterans Day had a special question for inpatients: Have you served in the military? If the answer was yes, the nurses returned with a tumbler and a large magnet, emblazoned with American flags and the sentiment: Thank You For Your Service. 

The tribute to veterans began last year at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, and was expanded to the network’s two other medical centers this year, thanks to board member Madalyn Rovinsky.  “I’m very grateful for people who put their life on the line for my freedom,” said Rovinsky, who donated the funds for the program on behalf of herself and her husband, Harvey.  “I don’t take it for granted.”

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Einstein Healthcare Network (Einstein) today announced they will form a unique alliance to provide neonatal, newborn, maternal care, and pediatric emergency services in one location on the Einstein Medical Center Montgomery campus (Einstein Montgomery), in East Norriton, Pa.  

Einstein’s exceptional women’s health and maternity care and CHOP’s world-class neonatology and pediatric emergency services will be available to families at one easily-accessible location. This alliance will also support opportunities for Einstein and CHOP to work together to identify enhancements in care delivery to maternal and pediatric patients at Einstein Montgomery.

“CHOP is very excited by the endless possibilities to bring world-class neonatal care to area families,” said Madeline Bell, president and chief executive officer of The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.  “We have formed an alliance that will extend the delivery of CHOP’s top-rated care to communities surrounding the city of Philadelphia. Einstein Medical Center Montgomery has become known for its dedicated and skilled doctors and nurses and we are happy to have CHOP clinicians collaborate with them in their efforts.  We know this program will become a centerpiece for medical excellence in the region.”
