Graduate
Hospital was a hospital in the Southwest Center City neighborhood
of Philadelphia, founded in 1916 and repurposed in 2007. Medical
care began on the site in 1889 under the name Philadelphia
Polyclinic. Currently, the site is being converted into a
rehabilitation and long-term acute-care facility. The current
facility is owned by University of Pennsylvania Health System
and operated in a partnership with the Good Shepherd Rehabilitation
Network called Good Shepherd Penn Partners. In local parlance,
the name Graduate Hospital also refers to the neighborhood
where it is situated.
History
The
origins of the hospital are with the Philadelphia Polyclinic,
founded in 1889 in the area of 20th and South streets in Philadelphia.
In 1916 the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of
Medicine established Graduate Hospital as a clinical teaching
facility. After losing money for several years, Penn spun-off
Graduate as an independent, non-profit hospital in 1977. In
1996, Graduate became part the Allegheny Health System based
in Pittsburgh. When Allegheny went bankrupt in 1998, the hospital
was acquired by Tenet Healthcare. Tenet had financial trouble
in 2005, and in 2006 it sought to sell this and two other
Philadelphia hospitals. UPHS finalized the deal in 2007, closed
the facility as a full-service hospital, and began the conversion
to a specialty medical facilty. An urgent care practice is
temporarily operating on the first floor of the Tuttleman
building on the Graduate Hospital site. Two new specialty
hospitals are currently being built.
Good
Shepherd Specialty Hospital -- Philadelphia will be a 38-bed
long-term acute care hospital.
The Penn Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine will be a 58-bed
inpatient rehabilitation facility.
