Transforming patient care

From top-ranked hospitals to advanced virtual and home health services, Penn Medicine ensures that patients receive the highest quality care where and when they need it most.

Rethinking patient care for a changing world

Ever since Pennsylvania Hospital's founding in 1751, Penn Medicine has remained home to the world’s best physicians, nurses, and staff, all dedicated to providing exceptional, personalized care to every patient. Guided by real-time data, the latest science, and leading-edge technology, our care teams work together to address patients' needs from multiple expert viewpoints. Pharmacists, social workers, and nutrition and rehabilitation professionals are all part of the team—working together for you.

The right care, the right place, the right time

At Penn Medicine, our approach to patient care is guided by one simple principle: meeting patients where they are, both in terms of medical need and location. With a focus on convenience, accessibility, and personalized care, we’ve built a network that spans every stage of the health care journey. Whether you need emergency services, routine checkups, or long-term care, our teams work seamlessly across a variety of settings to ensure you receive the highest quality care. Across emergency departments, operating rooms, and clinics, our care teams put patients first in every setting.

Through telemedicine, mobile apps, and remote monitoring, we provide greater convenience and safety, whether in our facilities or at home. We don’t just treat medical conditions; we treat people. Penn Medicine physicians and nurses get to know patients personally to ensure everyone receives the highest quality care wherever and whenever it’s needed most.
