Lehigh Valley Health Network Announces 2 New Medical Facilities at Former Martin Tower Site

Plans include region’s first of its kind Women’s Health Center

Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), part of Jefferson Health, today announced its plans for two new medical sites, including the region’s first women’s health center.

The Women’s Health Center and Health Center at Tower Place will be located at the former site of Bethlehem Steel’s Martin Tower. The large redevelopment project, which includes other plans beyond LVHN, is known as Tower Place. LVHN’s two facilities include a combined 100,000 square feet of medical space.

“Martin Tower was a longstanding landmark in our community and as the region’s health leader, we are looking forward to bringing new life to the site and providing patients with more services close to where they live, work and play,” said Jim Miller, CRNA, Regional President, Jefferson Health–Lehigh East Region.  

The Women’s Health Center, a 40,000-square-foot facility, will provide specialized and dedicated care for women, under one convenient roof. Services include preventive gynecology care, breast health services, dermatology (in partnership with Advanced Dermatology Associates), gynecology specialty programs, women’s heart and vascular center, obstetrics and midwifery, maternal fetal medicine, female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. Additionally, the center will provide women’s rehabilitation services, primarily pelvic floor therapy. The center also offers facial esthetic services, a café and includes on-site childcare for patients while they are receiving care at the facility.

“We know women care about their health. But they are often also caring for others in their lives, so we want to make access to world-class, specialized care as easy and convenient as possible to meet their unique needs and preferences,” said Amanda Flicker, MD, Chief Medical Executive, Women’s Health Service Line. “Our Women’s Health Center is revolutionizing the way we provide care to the women in our community, and we are proud to be leaders in this space.”

Health Center at Tower Place will be larger, at about 60,000 square feet and will include HNL Lab Medicine, Rehabilitation Services, Imaging Services (X-ray, MRI, Dexa Scan, Ultrasound), ExpressCARE, Primary Care, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Endocrinology, Bariatric Medicine and a Diabetes Metabolism Center.

Both LVHN facilities are expected to open this summer.
