Rosemont Partners with Main Line Health

President Jayson Boyers announced a new partnership with Main Line Health in a letter to the Rosemont community on July 21. The agreement provided the Rosemont community with essential healthcare guidance and medical expertise as the Taskforce for Reopening finalized the plan to reopen the College, and has continued to support campus health and safety protocols throughout the fall semester.

“I am confident that the medical guidance provided through our partnership with Main Line Health has ensured that Rosemont has implemented the most up-to-date procedures and protocols to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 on campus this fall,” said President Boyers.

The partnership with Main Line Health includes the following: • Community Education. • Review of Rosemont 2020, including policies and procedures for cleaning, food service delivery, social distancing in classrooms and shared spaces, and self-isolation/quarantine capabilities. • On-campus COVID-19 testing for students, faculty, and staff. • On-campus assistance in the event of an outbreak of COVID-19. • Contact tracing assistance.

Founded in 1985, Main Line Health is a not-for-profit health system serving portions of Philadelphia and its western suburbs. At its core are four of the region’s most respected acute care hospitals—Lankenau Medical Center, Bryn Mawr Hospital, Paoli Hospital, and Riddle Hospital—as well as one of the nation’s premier facilities for rehabilitative medicine, Bryn Mawr Rehabilitation Hospital. A team of more than 10,000 employees and 2,000 physicians care for patients throughout Main Line Health’s network.

Three of Main Line Health’s acute care hospitals — Lankenau Medical Center, Bryn Mawr Hospital, and Riddle Hospital — have consistently been recognized by U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Hospital” rankings as among the top 15 in the Philadelphia region. In addition to the regional ranking, Lankenau Medical Center was listed in 2019 as among the 10 best hospitals in the state of Pennsylvania. In addition, the American Nurses Credential Center (ANCC) has awarded Main Line Health System Magnet® designation, the nation's highest award for recognizing excellence in nursing care, which has been awarded to only seven percent of hospitals and 22 health systems in the nation.

Wellness Center Update

Over the summer, the lower level of Alumnae Hall was renovated and converted into the new wellness space. The new Wellness Center opened in September.

Helen “Hennie” Cline, RN MS retired from her position of Director of the Wellness Center on October 30.

“I know I speak for everyone at Rosemont in thanking Hennie for all of her efforts in keeping our students healthy, especially her work during these last few months of the pandemic, and in wishing her well in her retirement,” said President Boyers.

Rosemont is expanding its partnership with Main Line Health to include staffing of the Wellness Center. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 am to 1 pm a nurse from Main Line Health will be on-site. On Tuesday and Thursday, a nurse will be on-site from 8 am to 4 pm. After hours needs will be directed to a Main Line Health facility.

“I am excited to have Main Line Health’s services offered in our Wellness Center, and look forward to the medical support and expertise that they will bring to our campus community,” said President Boyers.
