Bryn Mawr, PA − November 21, 2025 – After 47 years of service to the Greater Philadelphia area, Lifecycle Wellness and Birth Center announced that they will be closing their doors in 2026.
The Pennsylvania Women’s Health Caucus Co-Chairs—Senator Amanda Cappelletti (D-17, Montgomery/Delaware), Senator Judy Schwank (D-11, Berks), Representative Gina H. Curry (D-164, Delaware), and Representative Mary Jo Daley (D-148, Montgomery)—released the following statement following the announcement:
“Lifecycle is a true community institution. For nearly 50 years, Lifecycle has provided compassionate care for women and birthing individuals. Over the years, their comprehensive services have provided essential support to thousands of our neighbors. The closure of Lifecycle is a devastating blow, both for patients and the exemplary midwives, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and staff who care for them. We, the Co-Chairs of the Pennsylvania Women’s Health Caucus, are deeply concerned about this loss of service and its impact on our region.
This closure is indicative of a much larger crisis facing our country and Commonwealth: the state of our women’s healthcare system is abysmal. Ever-increasing operating costs coupled with nationwide inflation, slow-paced insurance reimbursement rates, skyrocketing health insurance premiums, private equity’s destruction of longstanding healthcare systems, and more, create a perfect storm that forces small providers out of our communities. These untenable conditions for high-quality, individualized, and accessible small practices like Lifecycle only deepen the challenges our neighbors face in accessing care.
We remain outraged by ‘leadership’ in Washington’s refusal to exert any political will to make a difference for our healthcare providers and their patients. In fact, the rollback of enhanced tax credits for Affordable Care Act and the Federal Budget bill Republicans passed this past July will only compound these dire circumstances.
Our caucus stands committed to using every tool at our disposal at the state level to combat this systemic destruction of local care systems. Our communities deserve better, and we owe it to everyone in the Commonwealth to create an affordable, accessible healthcare landscape for all.”

For patients looking to coordinate care following the closure, review Lifecycle’s guidelines for transferring care.
