In August 2018, Penn Medicine and Grand View Health set a vision to develop collaborative services at Grand View Hospital (located in Sellersville, PA) in an effort to provide comprehensive care that kept patients closer to home. Four years later, the relationship is flourishing, with programs in Cancer (including Radiation Oncology), Trauma, Neurosciences, and Orthopaedics. The two organizations recently signed a renewal of their strategic alliance for five more years, through 2027.
Most recently, the two health systems came together through the Penn Trauma Network, earning Grand View Health accreditation as a Level II Trauma Center. Since opening last September, the center has provided trauma care for nearly 700 patients, including 67 who received critical care transportation to Penn via the PennSTAR program.
“Over the first four years of our alliance with Grand View Health, patients in Bucks and Montgomery counties have had access to the highest level of health care right in their own community,” said Kevin B. Mahoney, CEO of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. “In everything we do, the patient is at the center. When it’s a tough case, we want to be able to help them through the specialized expertise available at our Philadelphia campuses, but as much as possible, we’re focused on meeting the patient’s needs and their family’s needs close to where they live. Together, we’re giving patients as many options as possible.”
