Mr. Mahoney is CEO of University of Pennsylvania Health System, the clinical enterprise of Penn Medicine. He heads seven hospitals, 13 multispecialty centers and hundreds of outpatient facilities in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. His work to improve patient experience and care efficiency includes the acclaimed Clifton Center for Medical Breakthroughs, a 1.5-million-sq.-ft., future-forward hospital. This year, Penn Medicine added a new hospital, broke ground on three facilities, and addressed gaps left by area hospital closures. A recent shutdown in local suburbs left the community without two emergency rooms and essential services. In response, Penn Medicine fast-tracked a family medicine residency at its Chester County Hospital in West Chester, Pa. to train displaced physicians-in-training, who complete inpatient work at Penn Medicine hospitals and provide outpatient care at clinics serving 24,000 patients annually. A co-launched partnership with the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School invests in organizations that address social determinants of health. The partnership’s “Fund for Health” contributed $1.6 million to nine early-stage businesses addressing maternal health, equity, access to nutrition, preventive care and neighborhood stability. Meanwhile, Penn Medicine and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Lurie Autism Institute are driving first-of-its kind transformative discoveries for those living with autism spectrum disorder. The institute will work to unlock the genetics and biology of autism, run clinical trials, expand PhD and postdocs training, and serve as a global hub for ideas. Penn Medicine’s $12.5 billion enterprise is powered by 50,000 faculty and staff.
