Neurology has been a mainstay at Jeanes Hospital for many years, and has helped create a highly accredited stroke care program. Temple Neurosurgery is poised to develop a notable program at Jeanes Hospital, too. In fact, this year, “The creation of an on-campus neurosciences center is a bold step in Jeanes Hospital’s continuum of care,” said Michael Weaver, MD, Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery, Temple University School of Medicine. “Our goal is similar to cardiovascular services, meaning that neighbors in the Jeanes Hospital service area can benefit from advanced Temple programs but stay so close to home,” he said. The Temple team of neurosurgeons includes an impressive roster of talent, with services offered in movement disorders, epilepsy, spinal disorders and injury, aneurysms, pain and trauma, and both benign and malignant brain tumors (in collaboration with Fox Chase Cancer Center - Temple Health).
Head and Neck
Temple’s otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat, also known as ENT) program at Jeanes Hospital is orchestrating milestone growth this year, assembling a full-service head and neck institute. The vision is to combine ENT surgery — both benign at Jeanes Hospital and oncologic at Fox Chase Cancer Center - Temple Health — with nonsurgical services such as vestibular rehabilitation, audiology, hearing aid services, and speech/language and professional voice care. “We are excited to establish a second academic practice site here at Jeanes Hospital and Fox Chase Cancer Center Temple Health, and we look forward to expanding our services for patients with ear, nose, throat, sinus, and head and neck symptoms and disorders,” said John Krouse, MD, PhD, Chairperson of the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, Temple University School of Medicine.
Surgical Services
Our surgeons perform complex and minor surgeries, as well as minimally invasive procedures — all with an excellent, verifiable patient safety record. General surgery at Jeanes Hospital is provided by both communitybased physician practices and Temple surgeons. The roster of surgical services includes plastic surgery, gynecological surgery, urologic surgery, and a weight-loss surgery program that offers minimally invasive options.
Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The Center for Advanced Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine provides specialized care for chronic and nonhealing wounds. We offer stateof-the-art treatments plus two singleperson hyperbaric chambers.
