Empowering Women at Every Stage: Inside the Women’s Health Center at Tower Place
Women are the backbone of our community – their health and well-being strengthen families, workplaces, and everyone around them. Yet for far too long, women’s health care has been fragmented, inconvenient, or simply not designed with real lives in mind. Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), part of Jefferson Health, is changing that with the Women’s Health Center at Tower Place – a first-of-its-kind facility in the region that brings comprehensive, specialized care for women together under one roof, supported by thoughtful amenities, innovative programs, and more than 125 years of commitment to women’s health.
Located in Bethlehem, Pa., the Women’s Health Center is more than a medical facility. It is a space intentionally designed for women – where comfort, convenience, and compassion meet advanced clinical expertise. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, managing a heart condition, rehabbing your pelvic floor, seeking preventive care, or simply prioritizing your well‑being, the Women’s Health Center offers a seamless, supportive experience tailored to your needs.
A new model of care designed for women
LVHN has evolved from an era when women’s health care was limited or inaccessible into a regional leader. The Women’s Health Center reflects that progress: a modern facility focused on personalized, coordinated care.
What truly sets it apart is not only its breadth of services but also how care is delivered. Recognizing the complexity of women’s lives, LVHN designed a space that reduces stress and increases access through meaningful amenities, including:
- On-site childcare (Kids Club): A reservation-based service at no additional cost during appointments. Supervised by early childhood professionals, it provides a safe, engaging environment for children from 4 weeks to age 12 – removing a common barrier to care.
- A welcoming café: Whether you’re grabbing a coffee before an appointment or taking a moment to relax, the on‑site café adds comfort and ease to your visit.
- A calming environment: Thoughtful design elements – including a beautiful mural and spacious waiting areas – and small touches – like aromatherapy packets that are available upon request – help create a sense of ease.
- Centralized services: Instead of traveling to multiple offices, women have access to multiple specialties in one location, reducing travel and making care more efficient and coordinated.
