Descriptiontext

Temple University Hospital (TUH) is a Philadelphia-based academic medical center and the flagship clinical delivery platform of Temple University Health System, Inc. (TUHS), a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation affiliated with the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University. Founded in 1892, TUH operates 990 licensed beds across five hospital campuses in Philadelphia — Main, Jeanes, Episcopal, Northeastern, and Temple Health-Chestnut Hill Hospital — and is complemented by Temple Women & Families Hospital (opened 2025), the Fox Chase Cancer Center (an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center), Temple Faculty Physicians (500+ academic physicians), Temple Physicians Inc. (community-based practices), ReadyCare urgent care, and the Temple Transport Team (T3) ground and air ambulance service.

The system delivers tertiary and quaternary care across organ transplantation (340 transplants annually, with national leadership in lung), oncology, cardiovascular medicine, neurosciences, orthopaedics, and women's and pediatric health, supported by 1,794 physicians, 687 residents and fellows across 48 accredited residency programs, and 350+ researchers. In 2024, TUH recorded 37,000 inpatient admissions, 1.6 million outpatient visits, 160,000 emergency department visits, 23,000 surgeries, and 2,000 births. Technology infrastructure includes da Vinci robotic surgical systems, ECMO capabilities, advanced cardiac imaging, an Epic MyChart-based myTempleHealth patient portal, and a recently deployed weapon detection screening system at the main campus entrance.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service patient care billed to Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurers, and self-pay, supplemented by graduate medical education funding and clinical research grants from federal and philanthropic sources. As a non-profit, TUHS reinvests surplus into clinical operations, capital projects, and its safety-net mission serving North Philadelphia's underserved populations; it files IRS Form 990 returns publicly. The system distributes care through an integrated access network including the Temple Access Center, physician liaison service with dedicated key account managers, online scheduling, urgent care walk-ins, and 24/7 emergency transfer services.
