Drexel University College of Medicine and Tower Health have partnered to expand opportunities for medical training in the region.

Tower Health has joined forces with Drexel University to build an additional location for the university’s College of Medicine in West Reading, less than one mile from the Reading Hospital campus. This collaboration will bring undergraduate and graduate clinical education and research to a single campus. The new campus will be completed in time for the 2021-2022 academic year. When fully operational, the campus will train 200 medical school students.
