The Cherry Hill Patient Pavilion with all-private rooms opened at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital in December 2020. It was the last phase of a five-year, $250 million-plus campus revitalization project.
In addition to new patient care units with private rooms, the new Patient Pavilion also has new Medical Imaging facilities and a modern, full-service café. Hospital room amenities take the patient experience to a new level designed with patients and their family members’ comfort and convenience in mind, some of the new amenities include:
The Pavilion’s opening comes five years after the start of the overall Cherry Hill campus revitalization project, which included a new lobby pavilion and medical office building, as well as a seven-story, enclosed (free) parking facility.
A ribbon-cutting celebration was held September 2021 for the new seven-story, $184 million Silvestri Tower. Despite the pandemic, the state-of-the-art facility opened on time and on budget. The Silvestri Tower features 90 private rooms, a new main entrance and two-story lobby, a new cafeteria with outdoor dining space, a new Same-Day Surgery Unit, new Admissions and Pre-Admission Testing areas, and much more. The tower enables Jefferson to expand services; develop new clinical programs; and provide patients with a calming, yet high technology environment, close to home.
The Silvestri Tower is named in honor of Board member John P. Silvestri — a key member of our organization for more than 25 years — and his family, after they made a $5 million gift — the largest monetary gift in Jefferson Health – New Jersey history. “The Silvestri family’s unfailing support — and their drive to be a part of delivering high-quality care.
