The organization has also hired six GI physician assistants and nurse practitioners to speed up care.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>A similar move in urology is planned as the health system in Philadelphia\u2019s western suburbs partially unwinds itstraditional heavy reliance on outside physicians for specialty care, seeking to regain momentum after financial losses during the COVID era.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In another shift, Main Line is replacing contracted Jefferson Health trauma surgeons with its own hires. Main Line is ending its contract with Jefferson at the end of this year.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Overall, Main Line has hired 100 physicians since Jimenez became CEO in June 2025. About a third replace people who retired, but \u201ctwo thirds are brand new, accretive, so we\u2019ve been very successful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Some of the hiring is related tothe needs of patients coming to Main Line after last year\u2019s bankruptcy collapse of Crozer Health. That includes eight OB\/GYNs and one advanced practice provider hired from Crozer.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Starting a urology department<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Christopher Hartman joined Main Line from Northwell Health on Long Island in January as medical director of urology. One of his jobs is to build the employed physician group.
