“Through our nation’s countless struggles over the past two and a half centuries, Penn Medicine has been a beacon of leadership within our region and beyond. Today is no different.” – J. Larry Jameson, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President of Penn Medicine and Dean of the Perelman School of Medicine
Penn Medicine is a leader in medical research, education, and high-quality, safe patient care. From the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have brought together skilled professionals from all parts of our organization to collaborate on new protocols that ensure we can safely care for all patients—those with COVID-19 as well as patients with other important medical needs. Our highest priority is making sure each and every one of our patients gets the care they need, when they need it, in the safest way possible.
We are also here to be a resource for you. Throughout this section, you’ll find information about safety protocols within Penn Medicine hospitals and facilities, patient appointments and services, COVID-19 testing, and more. We encourage you to read our Frequently Asked Questions page or use our chat bot if you have questions about the coronavirus. If you have questions about how to navigate your care at Penn Medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic, you should call your doctor or our toll-free hotline at 833-983-1350.
