FIFA World Cup and America's 250th
Planning for Care Continuity
As Philadelphia prepares to host FIFA World Cup matchups between June 14 and July 4, as well as America’s 250th Birthday events beginning on July 2, we are to take proactive steps to ensure access to continuity of care and staffing stability during these large-scale events.
Given the anticipated road closures, increased traffic, and significant public activity, and as the city welcomes visitors from around the world, we want to make sure our patients feel informed, supported, and safe throughout this exciting time.
To our patients and families: With large events happening across the city—including matches at Lincoln Financial Field and celebrations throughout June and July—please keep the following in mind to help ensure your comfort and well‑being:
-Expect increased traffic and crowds near major event areas-Plan ahead for appointments, as travel times may be longer-Stay hydrated and avoid prolonged heat exposure during outdoor activities-Watch for city alerts regarding weather, transit, and event‑related changes-Seek help immediately if you feel overheated, dizzy, or unwell-Report any concerning activity to local authorities
Our team will continue providing care as scheduled, and we will communicate promptly if any adjustments are needed due to citywide events or travel impacts.
These celebrations mark a historic moment for our country and our city. We hope you enjoy the excitement safely and comfortably. If you have concerns about transportation, appointment timing, or health needs during this period, please reach out — we’re here for you.
