Penn Presbyterian Medical Center Features Pavilion for Advanced Care


Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum treats patients as a hematologist and oncologist at Regional Cancer Care Associates in New Jersey. A four-time New Jersey Monthly Top Doctor, Kenneth D. Nahum completed his residency at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center (PPMC). 

In 2012, PPMC opened the Pavilion for Advanced Care (PAC), a $144 million facility that blends new and renovated buildings. The six-story, 178,000-square-foot facility houses more than 20 medical and surgical specialists, including critical care, trauma/emergency services, and radiology. PAC patients benefit from having the most technologically advanced diagnostic machines on site, including CT and MRI technology, digital X-rays, ultrasound, and flouroscopy. 

The opening of PAC also increased the number of beds available in the medical center’s emergency department by 16. The ER offers round-the-clock eye injury treatment as well as a five-bay rapid assessment center for triage. In addition, PAC’s surgical suite added 30 beds specifically for outpatient “short procedure” surgeries. Each area of the facility was designed or renovated with the goal of enhancing patient and family comfort during their stay.
