Penn Medicine Valley Forge

An integrated model of care. Instead of separate offices, physicians share space to allow for better coordination between primary care, specialty care and diagnostic services.

Common electronic medical record. All of the physicians at the center use myPennMedicine, a common electronic medical record that is linked across the entire health system. Patients have access to their medical records through a secure website and will be able to communicate electronically with their physician's office.

Expanded hours. Many of the practices at the center offer extended hours in the evenings and on weekends to accommodate the needs of patients.

The Henry P. Erdman Educational Center. The center serves as a key training site for hundreds of students from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, who rotate through it to observe "real-world" medical interactions. Students also get involved in community and patient education.
