Doylestown Hospital
Doylestown Hospital

Doylestown Hospital, officially Penn Medicine Doylestown Hospital, is a non-profit community-based university-affiliated teaching hospital in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Established as an eight-bed emergency hospital by the Village Improvement Association (VIA), it has expanded into a 245-bed general hospital. It joined the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) as its seventh hospital and serves as the flagship institution of Penn Medicine Doylestown Health. Recognizing the need for local medical infrastructure, the VIA established the Doylestown Emergency Hospital in 1923 with a focus on emergency and maternity care. Over the following decades, the hospital expanded in both size and services, moving to a larger facility in 1939 and again in 1975 to accommodate the growing local population. The institution was renamed Doylestown Hospital in 1957 to reflect its expansion into general and specialized care, and the VIA restructured its ownership as a health system in 1985, later named Doylestown Health. Further expansion and modernization included the addition of a free clinic in 1994, an outpatient center in 2001, a cancer institute in 2011, and a cardiac and critical care pavilion in 2021. Doylestown Hospital and Doylestown Health struggled financially through the COVID-19 pandemic, and were acquired by UPHS in 2025. Doylestown Hospital has been involved in education through programs for resident doctors, physician assistant students, and nursing students. The hospital has been recognized in regional and national rankings. Notable controversies include early exclusion of osteopaths, a vaccine mandate-related staff dismissal, and an embezzlement case.
