The Celebration: 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of The Innova Group. To celebrate, we have chosen to give back to the clients who have placed their trust in our advisory services by donating to their philanthropic missions. We have had the great fortune to work with hospitals and health systems in 48 states and 24 foreign countries. Each of our clients serves a critical role in their community by providing quality healthcare and supportive social resources. Thirty (30) times over the next year, we will donate to our client’s chosen charity or affiliated foundation to assist them in pursuing their mission and supporting their community. MISSION TWO (2) The Client: From founding the first U.S. hospital and medical school more than two centuries ago to pioneering today's mRNA vaccines and cancer treatments, Penn Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Health System has always shown the world what comes next. Today, Penn Medicine’s 40,000+ team members led by CEO Kevin Mahoney forges forward, achieving extraordinary levels of collaboration across departments and labs to write the future of medicine. The Relationship: Penn Medicine has been a long-standing client of The Innova Group and its Partner, Phil DeBruzzi, FACHE DeBruzzi. Phil supported the campus master planning at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) and the planning of the $300M Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine, home to Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center. Recently, under the direction of Allison P. Wilson-Maher, The Innova Group completed clinical program planning and capital planning for five hospital campuses including: Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, Penn Medicine Chester County Hospital, Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health, and Penn Medicine Princeton Health. The Mission Focus: Penn Medicine supports and collaborates with Puentes de Salud who operates medical clinics as a refuge for Spanish-speaking immigrants who are uninsured and are unable to obtain health insurance. Puentes de Salud works in partnership with community members, local public schools, universities, governmental institutions, and other nonprofit organizations to address the adverse structural, economic, and social conditions that profoundly affect the prosperity of their community. The team at Puentes de Salud challenges the idea that deep and long-standing inequalities are acceptable realities within our society. They are not only re-imagining but also fostering an environment in which their vision of equitable access to health care, education, and empowerment exists. Our donation will support the mission of Puentes de Salud and the medical services they provide to this underserved population. #PennMedicine | #TheHospitaloftheUniversityofPennsylvania | ?#PerelmanCenterforAdvancedMedicine | #PennPresbyterianMedicalCenter | #ChesterCountyHospital | #LancasterGeneralHospital | #PennMedicinePrincetonHealth | #PuentesdeSalud?| #TheInnovaGroup

“Meet the 2 Visionaries Behind Puentes de Salud” Dr. Jack Ludmir (Chief Physician Executive of Temple Women & Families Hospital; Clinical Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine - Temple University) and Dr. Steve Larson (Former Executive Director of Puentes de Salud; Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine - University of Pennsylvania), founded Puentes de Salud to bridge the gap in healthcare for our underserved communities. Faced with barriers like poverty, limited English proficiency, low education levels, and lack of insurance, they saw the urgent need for accessible, compassionate care for the Latine population in southeastern Pennsylvania. Their dedication and vision continue to empower and uplift our community every day. ?? #HealthcareForAll #CommunityHealth #PuentesDeSalud #InspiringLeaders #Philadelphia
