Malvern Health, Inc. is proud to announce that our corporate office moved in January. The corporate office is located in Two Valley Square, in Blue Bell, PA. Malvern’s lease ended in December and the Malvern leadership made the decision to find new space that was more open, efficient, and more employee-centric.
Since our rebranding efforts took place in 2019, we have transformed our company with a focus on compassion, quality, culture, dignity, and respect to our persons served, their family members, payers, stakeholders, and the community. The transformation included a plan to develop our most valuable asset: our employees. Through a focus on professional development, we developed a comprehensive training and supervisory program based on the philosophy of Service Excellence to develop a culture of leadership, teamwork, and collaboration. We are striving to hire individuals who are flexible, creative, and solution-oriented to further our performance improvement initiatives.
Towards this goal, we wanted to create a corporate environment that was more conducive to employee wellness, provided positive energy, and was less siloed. The new corporate office has much more natural light with less closed office space with a focus on a more open office plan. Research has indicated that open office space promotes collaboration, communication, and happiness. We also wanted to create an environment where employees could have fun. The walls include colorful graphics of Malvern’s Four Pillars of Culture: Compassion, Respect, Dignity, and Teamwork.

April 22, 2021 – New data from the CDC shows overdose deaths surged across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.
One death in Chester County has a local detective concerned about a herbal supplement that just about anyone can buy in stores or online – kratom.
It can be addictive and lead to the use of drugs. When mixed with other drugs, it can be deadly.
Kratom is an herbal supplement that you can legally buy and sell in the United States. It’s sold in powder, pill, and liquid form.
Kratom is not considered a controlled substance by the FDA.
“It sends a message that it’s not that harmful, it’s not a problem to use,” said Dr. Peter Swanljung. “They don’t realize it can cause physical dependence and cause withdrawal.”
Dr. Swanljung is the Chief of Psychiatry with Malvern Health Inc. where they provide programs and facilities for behavioral health treatment.
