PHILADELPHIA —
Penn Medicine Cherry Hill will celebrate its grand opening on October 13 at its new 1865 Route 70 East location. With 28 specialties in one building, the new facility will allow patients to see their primary care doctor, specialists, and receive lab work and/or radiology services all in the same location.
The latest addition to the growing health care hub on Route 70, the new ambulatory care center treats simple and complex cases requiring care from specialists in dermatology, neuroscience, musculoskeletal specialties and physical therapy, urology and male fertility, liver transplant, cardiovascular medicine and other areas.
Expanded lab services, comprehensive radiology (MRI, CT, PET/CT, mammograms, bone density scanning, and ultrasound) are also offered on-site. The site will also allow South Jersey patients to receive a broad spectrum of adult cancer services -- including hematology, surgical and radiation oncology -- which many cancer patients receive daily for several weeks. The new location coordinates with other Penn Medicine locations for additional cancer services, such as proton beam therapy or cancer surgeries. Penn Medicine Cherry Hill started seeing patients last month.

The organization consists of the University of Pennsylvania Health System and Penn’s Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine, founded in 1765 as the nation’s first medical school.
The Perelman School of Medicine is consistently among the nation's top recipients of funding from the National Institutes of Health, with $550 million awarded in the 2022 fiscal year. Home to a proud history of “firsts” in medicine, Penn Medicine teams have pioneered discoveries and innovations that have shaped modern medicine, including recent breakthroughs such as CAR T cell therapy for cancer and the mRNA technology used in COVID-19 vaccines.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System’s patient care facilities stretch from the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania to the New Jersey shore. These include the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, Chester County Hospital, Lancaster General Health, Penn Medicine Princeton Health, and Pennsylvania Hospital—the nation’s first hospital, founded in 1751.
