Program accomplishments

• See Schedule OTemple University Hospital was founded in 1892 as "Samaritan Hospital," with the mission of caring for patients with limited incomes and ensuring access to medical care in its surrounding neighborhoods. As the chief academic teaching hospital of the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, Temple University Hospital (TUH) is an 891-bed non-profit acute care hospital that provides a comprehensive range of medical services to its low-income communities, and a broad spectrum of secondary, tertiary, and quaternary care to patients throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania and beyond. TUH is accredited as an Adult Level 1 Trauma Center by the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation.TUH is an indispensable provider of health care in the largest city in America without a public hospital. Within our immediate service area, about 37% of individuals live below the federal poverty level. Among Pennsylvania's full-service safety-net providers, Temple University Hospital serves the greatest volume and highest percentage of patients covered by Medicaid.In addition to its main campus in North Philadelphia, TUH includes its Episcopal, Jeanes, Northeastern and Women & Families campuses, which all serve economically and socially disadvantaged communities.As our chief clinical teaching site, TUH is staffed by over 400 physicians of Temple Faculty Physicians as well as physician scientists from our affiliated Fox Chase Cancer Center and our community-based Temple Physicians, Inc. The Temple Faculty Practice Plan represents about 20 academic departments, including subspecialties in emergency medicine, oncology, pulmonary, urology, gastroenterology, obstetrics, gynecology, orthopedics, neurosurgery, neurology, general and specialty surgery, and psychiatry. Temple University Hospital's Episcopal Campus provides a recovery oriented behavioral health treatment program, offering a welcoming approach and hope for those whose lives have been affected by mental illness and/or co-occurring disorders. It serves adults, age 18 or older, experiencing severe psychiatric symptoms that markedly impair their capacity to function adequately within the community. Many of its patients are diagnosed with psychiatric plus one or more substance/alcohol disorders. Almost half have one or both diagnosis of hypertension and or diabetes. Many have multiple co-existing medical illnesses. Temple physicians also staff important clinics that address major public health concerns, such as the Comprehensive Neuroaids Center at Temple University, which is dedicated to improving the public health impact of bench-to-clinic research associated with HIV-induced neurological diseases and cognitive disorders.Temple's nationally renowned physicians offer state of the art treatment options for patients with complex medical problems, some of whom were previously considered untreatable. Using sophisticated technologies and personalized treatments, Temple physicians are working to alter the course of serious disease. In over a dozen research centers, our faculty is speeding the transformation of fundamental scientific discoveries into practical therapies with the potential to dramatically improve human health.As a premier transplant center, Temple University Hospital performed over 400 organ transplants last year. We also participate in countless research studies to promote life-saving treatment modalities. Our affiliated Temple Center for Population Health, LLC, (TCPH) promotes and manages our population health efforts. Its mission is to attain a sustainable model of health care delivery through clinical and business integration, community engagement, and academic distinction to promote healthy populations. The TCPH includes an extensive network of Patient Centered Medical Homes; chronic disease management programs for high risk populations utilizing nurse navigators; an extensive inpatient and outpatient community health worker program, peer coaching, and a central access center for appointment scheduling and acute care follow-up.
