A new medical practice offering membership-based primary care opened Tuesday, Sept. 1, at 595 Skippack Pike in Blue Bell.

ERAs Health & Longevity, founded by Jennifer Hwang, DO, skips traditional insurance billing. Patients instead pay an annual fee for longer appointments, biomarker reviews and individualized health plans.

Hwang, a board-certified family and geriatric medicine physician, spent 10 years at Main Line Health before launching the practice, Around Ambler first reported. She also holds a research background in the microbiome from her time at the University of Pennsylvania and was named a Main Line Top Doc in 2025.

The practice serves two groups. One track targets adults 45 and older who want to get ahead of chronic conditions before they take hold. The other focuses on older adults who need what the practice describes as complex family care navigation, helping families coordinate medical decisions for aging parents.

Hwang told Around Ambler that her decade treating older patients at Main Line Health showed her a pattern. Many arrived with conditions that earlier intervention might have prevented.

"I always wondered if they had met a doctor focused on prevention and longevity, could we have changed that trajectory?" she said.

She said the 40s and 50s represent a critical window. Without exercise and proactive monitoring, patients are more likely to develop chronic conditions later. Her practice uses biomarker testing to build plans aimed at changing that course.

Hwang grew up in Huntingdon Valley and graduated from Lower Moreland High School in 2005. She said she picked Blue Bell because it sits between the Main Line and communities like Abington, Jenkintown and Huntingdon Valley. Her own experience in a multigenerational household, helping care for her immigrant parents, shaped the practice's focus on bridging mid-life and geriatric care.

The practice soft-launched Aug. 18 before its public opening. Its website lists a founding-member waitlist, along with options for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and single longevity consultations outside the membership model.
