Hahnemann University Hospital
Hahnemann University Hospital

Hahnemann University Hospital was a tertiary care center in Center City Philadelphia. It was the teaching hospital of Drexel University College of Medicine. Established in 1885, it was for most of its history the main teaching hospital associated with its namesake medical school, Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital, founded in 1848 and named for Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy. Hahnemann University Hospital was fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Hahnemann University Hospital, located at the southwest corner of Broad and Vine streets, was also affiliated with St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in North Philadelphia. The hospital was owned by American Academic Health System, an affiliate of Paladin Healthcare. The sale of Dallas-based for-profit Tenet Healthcare's remaining Philadelphia assets was completed on January 12, 2018.Under American Academic Health System, Hahnemann's financial condition worsened, with the hospital losing roughly $3 million a month. Joel Freedman, CEO of American Academic Health System, publicly stated that Hahnemann was on the brink of closure unless it found financial support from Pennsylvania or Drexel University College of Medicine. As a way to stem ongoing losses, American Academic Health System laid off hundreds of employees throughout 2018 and 2019, closed outpatient offices and eliminated clinical services. In addition to the hospital's financial turmoil, there was constant turnover in hospital leadership with the hospital going through five CEOs in the course of a year.On June 26, 2019, American Academic Health announced that because of unsustainable financial losses, Hahnemann Hospital would close in September 2019. The union representing 800 registered nurses who worked at Hahnemann appealed to Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, the Philadelphia City Council, the Pennsylvania Legislature and Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf to keep the hospital open, but to no avail. On June 27, 2019, Governor Wolf and the Pennsylvania Department of Health issued a cease and desist and ordered Hahnemann to not take any action toward the hospital's closure until regulators approved a closure plan. On June 29, 2019, Hahnemann withdrew its Level 1 trauma designation. The closure of the hospital resulted in the ACGME displacing 574 physicians who were in training as residents and fellows, the largest such displacement in U.S. history. In March 2020, public health authorities attempted to reopen the hospital to provide additional beds during the COVID-19 pandemic.
