St. Luke’s University Health Network has broken ground on a three-story, 37,500-square-foot pediatric specialty center in Center Valley.

The new center will house a number of pediatric specialties including Nephrology, Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Pulmonology, Developmental, Neurology, Endocrinology, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy, Pediatric Primary Care and Pediatric Nutrition.

“Now more than ever, our families want to stay close to home, but still expect and deserve expert care for their children,” St. Luke’s Chief of Dr. Jennifer Janco said at the groundbreaking ceremony.

of South Whitehall Township will be the general contractor overseeing the construction of the project.

The Pediatrics Specialty Center is scheduled to open in 2022.

It will be adjacent to the St. Luke’s Center Valley Health Center at 5445 Lanark Road and the new St. Luke’s Dermatology building, which opened last month at 5415 Lanark Road.
