Temple University Health System, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is an academic healthcare system affiliated with Temple University. It comprises several hospitals including Temple University Hospital, Fox Chase Cancer Center, and Jeanes Hospital, along with a network of outpatient facilities that serve a diverse patient population. Founded in 1892 as a single hospital, it has grown into a significant healthcare provider in the region, known particularly for its high level of care in specialties such as cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, and orthopedics.
The health system is closely linked with the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, fostering a rich environment for medical education and clinical research. This connection enhances its capability to provide cutting-edge medical treatments and to engage in significant research activities, particularly in cancer treatment, heart disease, and organ transplantation. Temple University Health System is a vital part of the community it serves, often focusing on urban health issues and working towards reducing health disparities in the Philadelphia area.
