Doylestown (Pa.) Health has officially joined the University of Pennsylvania Health System and will now be known as Penn Medicine Doylestown Health along with its affiliates.
Doylestown Hospital, a 245-bed teaching hospital, will become Penn Medicine’s seventh hospital, according to an April 1 news release.
The two parties signed a nonbinding letter of intent in January 2024 to merge. Doylestown Health said that it had met certain financial goals to clear a path for the merger in late July 2024.
Penn Medicine will appoint two PMDH board members and two Doylestown trustees will join Penn Medicine’s Board of Trustees under the integration, the release added.
“Doylestown Health’s integration into Penn Medicine is a key part of our strategy to reimagine care,” Kevin Mahoney, CEO of UPHS, said in the release. “Our goal is to transform healthcare into a source of ease and reassurance — simplifying care delivery, making it more accessible for patients, and creating a seamless, supportive experience at every step.”
