Every Second Counts

For trauma patients, every second influences their outcome. That’s why Main Line Health offers around-the-clock high quality care at our two trauma centers—Lankenau Medical Center and Paoli Hospital. Located in the Philadelphia suburbs, these centers were strategically placed in order to serve our community as effectively as possible. This exceptional continuum of care ensures that our patients are in the best possible position to recover.

The Golden Hour

R. Adams Cowley is credited with promoting the concept of the Golden Hour–the period of time immediately after a traumatic injury in which there is the highest likelihood that prompt medical and surgical treatment will save a life.
