Drexel Medicine

What Drexel Medicine does

Drexel Medicine is the clinical practice group of Drexel University College of Medicine, operating a multi-specialty ambulatory care enterprise across Philadelphia. Its service portfolio spans primary care (Drexel Internal Medicine), HIV/AIDS specialty care through the Partnership Comprehensive Care Practice (operating since 1993), pediatrics, geriatrics, women's health, student health for Drexel University, substance use disorder treatment via the Caring Together Program and the Drexel HOPE mobile medical unit, a CAP-accredited Diagnostics Laboratory, and a Clinical Trials program. Care is delivered through five physical Philadelphia locations, a mobile unit serving opioid use disorder patients, and the Epic-based MyChart patient portal for records access, messaging, scheduling, and bill payment.

The organization was consolidated as a unified clinical enterprise in July 2021 when Drexel University College of Medicine resumed management of the Internal Medicine practice and Student Health Center from Tower Health Medical Group, formalizing an integrated structure that had previously operated in pieces. Underlying technology is primarily standard healthcare infrastructure (Epic/MyChart for the patient experience, Touchnet for secure billing) with no proprietary AI/ML or platform systems; differentiation comes from clinical credentials (CAP accreditation, board-certified faculty across specialties, multilingual providers covering nine languages) and an academic research/teaching mission supported by Drexel University.

Drexel Medicine bills primarily through insurance for patient care services, supplemented by grant funding (notably a five-year SAMHSA grant for the Drexel HOPE mobile unit) and academic/research revenue tied to its College of Medicine affiliation. Customers are individual patients across diverse Philadelphia communities, including underserved populations, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Drexel University students. The practice has received consecutive Philadelphia Magazine Top Doctors recognition from 2021 through 2024, is HIPAA-compliant, and operates under academic, non-VC-backed ownership.
