Services to Our Community
Prostate
Screening
Annually, Jeanes Hospital hosts a free prostate cancer screening
for men aged 50 and older, in conjunction with our medical staff.
We screen between 80 and 120 men every year. The screening consists
of two parts - a digital rectal exam and a PSA blood test.
This
year's prostate screening will take place in September.

Bereavement
Support
The loss of a loved one brings us face-to-face with a seemingly
insurmountable emotional hurdle. While nobody can fully understand
a person's pain, we know that feelings such as anger, confusion,
emptiness and helplessness all accompany grief. What we can offer,
however, as providers of acute care services, is our support to
help guide our friends and visitors through their difficult time.
Unfortunately, when a loved one passes away, very important decisions
must be made quickly. Grief, by its very nature, makes it hard to
concentrate and focus. With so many things to remember and manage,
the responsibilities may be overwhelming.
A chaplain
from the Pastoral Care Department at Jeanes Hospital specializes
in bereavement support. In her attempts to ease the grieving process
of others, she has compiled a tool kit, containing all of the necessary
items to help organize thoughts and prompt good decisions.
The
tool kit is distributed by nurses, chaplains and our home health
team. To learn more, call Jeanes Hospital's Pastoral Care Department
at 215-728-2036, or click
