History
Formed in 1825 as the Infirmary of the Jefferson Medical College, the predecessor of the Hospital of Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital serves patients in Philadelphia and the surrounding communities in the Delaware Valley and southern New Jersey.
The Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals system has 957 licensed acute care beds. Services are provided at five locations — the main hospital facility and Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience, both in Center City Philadelphia; Methodist Hospital in South Philadelphia; Jefferson at the Navy Yard, just past the sports complex; and Jefferson-Voorhees in South Jersey.
Formerly a division of Thomas Jefferson University, the Hospital was separated from the University to become a founding member of the Jefferson Health system in 1995. The Hospital merged with Methodist Hospital as a division of Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in 1996. In March 2014, the Jefferson Health System was dissolved "in order for (TJUH) to move forward" and "be nimble and agile, but also not be constrained by a corporate relationship that in some respects put some limits on what we could do," according to Stephen K. Klasko, Jefferson's President and Chief Executive of both Thomas Jefferson University and the parent Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals Inc.
For fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals had 46,386 admissions; 475,031 outpatient visits and 118,590 emergency room visits. The organization had 7,200 employees, 977 house staff, 1,176 medical staff and 1,848 full-time registered nurses. The Hospitals report total patient revenue (2012) of $4,784,113,024. In May 2015 Abington Health and Jefferson merged and formed Abington Jefferson Health.
