Doors are opening at the new Temple Women and Families Hospital in Northeast Philadelphia.

The new facility will officially open Sept. 3 and offer a variety of services that will move out of Temple University Hospital's Broad Street location. 

"We are super excited to be opening the only hospital dedicated solely to women and families in the city of Philadelphia," said Sharon Kurfuerst, the executive director of the new facility. 

The new hospital is located at the former Cancer Treatment Centers of America location at 1331 East Wyoming Ave. 

"We take care of about 5,000 women for their prenatal care," she said.

All labor and delivery services will move to the new location from Temple's main campus on Broad Street, including the neonatal intensive care unit, which will double in size. 

Kurfuerst said the labor and delivery rooms are specially designed to keep the family together with the newborn baby.

"This takes care of all the newborn baby's needs. We have a monitoring system if the baby needs any supplemental care," Kurfuerst said.

This is also where Temple will provide outpatient services, from mammograms and bone scans to family planning and mental health counseling.

"We know the stigma that still exists, unfortunately, in society around receiving mental health care, and so we're bringing that right here to the patient," Kurfuerst said.

The new hospital will offer a kind of one-stop shopping for women, Kurfuerst said.

"We are looking to take care of women's complete and total health care needs right here in this location in their community," she said.

Social services will also be available here for help with things like food stamps.

"It's a privilege to be able to bring this level of care to a community who so desperately needs it and honestly deserves it," she said.
