As part of the ongoing construction at the PHMC Public Campus on Cedar, two new health programs operated by PHMC have either opened or will be launched in the coming weeks.

PHMC subsidiary The Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Philadelphia is offering a 15-bed inpatient hospice unit that provides 24/7 care to stabilize patients with difficult-to-manage symptoms. The unit also provides support and private space for patients’ families and caregivers. VNA Philadelphia continues to deliver comprehensive home health, palliative, and hospice care to patients throughout the City and neighboring suburbs. The new hospice unit extends PHMC’s ability to support families across the lifespan. To learn more about VNA Philadelphia, visit their website.

Additionally, PHMC Medical Respite on Cedar is expected to open within the coming weeks. This program will offer post-acute medical care for individuals experiencing homelessness who are discharged from a hospital and require additional medical care to recover from a physical illness, surgery or injury. The facility will offer 20 beds and provide high-quality care, linkage to health and social services, and comfortable space for rest and recovery.
