SANATOGA PA – Albert Einstein Medical Center, the Philadelphia-based teaching hospital that specializes, in part, in human liver transplants and the treatment of liver disease, has opened a new satellite liver center at 600 Creekside Dr., Suite 203, in the heart of the Sanatoga village district.
The facility, officially called the Einstein Center for Liver Disease and Transplantation – Pottstown, “is as close as a hospital can come to making home visits” and “brings treatment for advanced liver disease,” the hospital announced last Tuesday (Sept. 20, 2011) on the social networking platforms Facebook and Twitter. Its Sanatoga staff will deal with “cirrhosis, liver cancer, and other pre-transplant conditions,” it said.
Dr. Victor Araya, the hospital’s chairman of hepatology and deemed by U.S. News and World Report to be among the top 1 percent of the nation’s physicians in his specialty, claimed the facility “will be the only liver treatment center of its kind in the area.”
