The following are a few of the special programs and services offered by Einstein Healthcare Network.

Einstein Simulation and Learning Center

Scheduled to open in June 2010, Einstein is constructing a 6500 square feet Simulation and Learning Center located in the Korman Research Building on main campus. The Simulation and Learning Center will provide residents, physicians, nurses and allied health professionals "real life" patient experiences with guided, artificially created scenarios and procedures that evoke or replicate actual patient care. At least six kinds of training will be available at the Center: human patient simulators, simulated clinical environments, virtual procedure stations, procedure training, certification courses and team training. Training in simulated environments is an emerging additional step in the learning process - a step between classroom instruction and actual clinical instruction with real patients. As an academic medical center, Einstein is committed to teaching excellence and to the full integration of simulation into everyday residency training.

Einstein Heart Institute

Einstein Heart Institute houses Albert Einstein Medical Center’s well-respected, 40-year-old heart program. Einstein Heart Institute was among the first heart programs in Philadelphia to offer ground-breaking, life-saving procedures including balloon angioplasty and minimally invasive bypass surgery.

That tradition continues today. Opened in 1999, The Minerva and Fred Braemer Heart Center is equipped with the most advanced cardiac care technology available. It is one of the first heart facilities in the world to seamlessly integrate two of the most important cardiac catheterization tools, digital imaging and hemodynamic monitoring, into one digitally networked cardiac information management system.

While many of our patients are successfully treated with angioplasty and stenting procedures, those requiring surgery have immediate access to some of the most experienced surgeons in the world. Surgeons skilled in the latest techniques including beating heart bypass and all-arterial bypass surgery.

Transplant programs

Albert Einstein Medical Center's Kidney Transplant Program was established in 1965, and today remains at the forefront of renal therapy and transplantation. Our kidney transplant surgeons offer patients the latest surgical and interventional techniques, including techniques pioneered at Einstein. We have vast experience in treating end-stage renal disease with kidney and kidney/pancreas transplantation and in performing difficult transplants in high-risk patients.

The Einstein Center for Liver Disease is one of the region's largest and fastest growing programs, attracting patients from both the Delaware Valley region and internationally. The surgical team performs approximately 65 liver transplants each year and hundreds of non-transplant liver procedures and operations. Einstein's liver surgeons employ the latest transplantation techniques including living related donors, reduced size, split liver transplantations and the safe and effective use of extended donors. Survival rates of patients who undergo liver transplantation at Albert Einstein Medical Center are higher than the national average.

Last year members of our transplant team earned recognition for their work in the field of organ transplantation. Among the honors earned was the Albert Schweitzer Gold Medal for humanitarianism and contribution to the advancement of organ transplantation procedures.

Marion-Louise Saltzman Women’s Center

Compassionate, respectful healthcare for women is the focus and philosophy of the Marion-Louise Saltzman Women's Center. Brought about by our vision to create a facility for treating the special health needs of women, the Marion-Louise Saltzman Women's Center is a place where women are cared for by experts in women's physical and emotional health.

In addition, nine Einstein physicians were among those named in Philadelphia magazine’s "Top Doctors for Women," a distinction that reflects our leadership in healthcare for women and children.

Einstein Cancer Center

The  Einstein Cancer Center provides complete cancer care for more than 1,400 newly diagnosed patients annually. Patients have access to the most advanced technologies and treatment options available in our new, patient-focused facility. The Einstein Cancer Center is a member of the nationally renowned Jefferson Cancer Network—a consortium of 17 institutions dedicated to improving cancer care and increasing clinical research.

Behavioral Health

Taking care of the mind is as important as taking care of the body. Belmont Behavioral Health is one of the largest, most comprehensive behavioral health systems in Philadelphia. Belmont is known both regionally and nationally for its expertise and dedication in treating mental health, addictions and eating disorders.

Last year, Belmont Behavioral Health introduced two new programs to address underserved populations. In response to a lack of adequate children’s psychiatric programs in the area, Belmont opened a 12-bed inpatient unit that treats young people aged five to 12 years old. Belmont also instituted Three East at Belmont, a new inpatient program for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community.

Community Health

Einstein Neighborhood Healthcare is a network of more than 70 physicians and healthcare providers offering primary care, pediatrics and obstetric and gynecologic services in community-based offices throughout Northeast and Northwest Philadelphia, as well as Eastern Montgomery and Lower Bucks Counties.

Germantown Community Health Services is committed to providing quality healthcare services to residents of Northwest Philadelphia. With a special focus on women, children and older adults, Germantown Community Health Services offers a complete primary care services, as well as an Emergency Department, outpatient surgery center, outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy and outpatient dialysis services.

Willow Terrace is a long-term care residence for older adults who are no longer able to safely maintain an independent lifestyle. Willow Terrace is located on the Germantown Community Health Services campus.

The newly expanded Einstein Center One offers residents of Northeast Philadelphia and Montgomery and Bucks counties convenient access to primary care and specialty physician offices, as well as a new Outpatient Surgery Center.

Medical Rehabilitation

In 2000, MossRehab celebrated a century of providing quality, compassionate care to individuals with physical disabilities. A leading national rehabilitation provider, MossRehab has been recognized eight times as one of "America’s Best Hospitals" by U.S. News & World Report.

One of only a few rehabilitation hospitals in the nation that offers a research institute, MossRehab was recently awarded a five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish and operate a regional network for rehabilitation research. In addition, MossRehab administers the Philadelphia regions only federally approved and funded traumatic brain injury Model Systems of Care. The first specialized rehabilitation program in the Philadelphia region–and among the first in the U.S.–MossRehab's Drucker Brain Injury Center has cared for more than 11,000 patients with traumatic brain injury over the past 20 years.

Orthopaedics

Einstein Medical Center's Department of Orthopaedic Surgery continues to build a team of physicians skilled in the latest treatment options for bone, joint and musculoskeletal problems. Surgeons offer special expertise in the surgical correction of spine, hand, wrist, shoulder, elbow, foot and ankle disorders, sports medicine, arthroscopic surgery, orthopaedic trauma and total joint replacement/reconstruction.

The Institute for Mobility Evaluation and Treatment draws national and international attention for its specialized treatment of complex neurological disorders. The institute offers tremendous hope for more independent living to people with limited use of their arms and legs, and is attracting patients worldwide through the Internet.

Gutman Diabetes Institute

The Gutman Diabetes Institute provides education, medical services and support for those most severely affected by diabetes—the elderly. In addition, the Center for Urban Health Policy and Research explores issues such as how different ethnic groups approach end-of-life decisions.
