PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL
Founded in 1751, our nation's
first hospital is renowned as a cutting-edge, approximately
500-bed acute care facility. Providing a full range
of diagnostic and therapeutic medical services, Pennsylvania
Hospital functions as a major teaching and clinical
research institution.
Located in the beautiful and historic
Society Hill section of Philadelphia, this hospital
attracts some of the most gifted and well-respected
medical providers who, along with our nursing, allied
health, and other professionals, are considered
to be among the best in the world. Working
here, you will find an environment that, while
academic, has the camaraderie and friendliness
of a smaller, community hospital.
Since its founding, Pennsylvania Hospital has been
an innovator in patient care, treatment techniques
and medical research and has provided the setting
for many "firsts" of our nation. In
the tradition of Dr.
Benjamin Rush, known as
the “father
of American psychiatry,” Pennsylvania Hospital
continues to be at the forefront of medical breakthroughs
in the treatment of mental disease.
Today, Hall-Mercer
Community Mental Health and Mental Retardation
Center provides a range of services for children
and adults with developmental disabilities and
mental illness. As the first outpatient community mental
health and mental retardation center in the state of
Pennsylvania, Hall-Mercer Center distinguishes
itself from other community-based services through
its affiliation with Pennsylvania Hospital.
Pennsylvania Hospital enjoys a national reputation
in areas such as:
Home to specialty
treatment centers such as the Joan
Karnell Cancer Center, the Center
for Bloodless Medicine and Surgery and the Penn
Neurological Institute, U.S.News & World
Report ranked Pennsylvania Hospital among
the nation's leaders for orthopaedics and urology.
