Doylestown Hospital has cared for the people of our community and the wider region for more than 100 years. During that time, the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown (VIA) and the Doylestown Health Boards of Trustees have worked together to build and grow the area’s first emergency hospital into a regional leader, providing best-in-class care in more than 50 specialties while maintaining a culture and reputation for providing compassionate care with a personal touch.
Since becoming Doylestown’s first hospital in 1923, this organization’s leadership has identified and developed new services to respond to the needs of our growing community. Doylestown Hospital was built upon a simple yet brilliant premise: patients heal faster when they are known, cherished, and cared for in the community they call home. This philosophy has driven our mission to ensure that the health and well-being of our community is foremost in all that we do. These efforts have seen Doylestown Hospital grow into a community teaching hospital with 247 beds and a medical staff of more than 435 physicians in over 50 specialties who serve the region with clinical excellence, providing advanced, personal care – close to home.
Doylestown Hospital consistently maintains the highest emphasis on patient safety, standing as the only hospital in Pennsylvania and among just 30% of hospitals nationwide who have achieved 15 consecutive “A” grades for patient safety as measured by the Leapfrog Group.
As a destination hospital for the highest level of heart and vascular care in the nation, we offer the newest advances in technology and surgical procedures, ranging from technically-complex, minimally invasive valve replacements and vascular procedures to delicate open-heart surgeries and a robust cardiac rehabilitation program. Doylestown Hospital earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval, Advanced Certification in Heart Failure and the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check mark for Primary Heart Attack Center. Doylestown Hospital is one of 33 hospitals in the United States and two in the state of Pennsylvania to earn Primary Heart Attack Center (PHAC) certification. The Woodall Center for Heart and Vascular Care expands the depth and scope of Doylestown Health’s nationally recognized cardiovascular services and provides enhanced access to patients throughout the region.
Doylestown Health’s Cancer Institute is a Nationally Accredited Community Cancer Center by the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) Commission on Cancer, offering access to outstanding specialists and advanced screening, diagnostics, treatment and professional supportive services. In 2023, we earned a three-year accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer, a quality program of the American College of Surgeons, and a renewal from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), which acknowledged that the program maintains 100% compliance with the NAPBC’s Breast Program standards. We are a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence as recognized by the American College of Radiology.
We offer the most advanced technology for early lung cancer screening and diagnosis in the region. Our team uses the minimally invasive robotic-assisted bronchoscopy called the ION Endoluminal System, to find and biopsy smaller, early-stage lung cancer nodules.
Joining the ranks of the Philadelphia region’s teaching hospitals, in 2023, Doylestown Health welcomed its inaugural class of Family Medicine resident physicians. The residents rotate through various departments at Doylestown Hospital, as well as the hospital’s own dedicated outpatient Family Medicine Residency Practice, also opened in 2023.
We are also proud to join other health organizations in the Philadelphia area as a member of the Regional Coalition to Eliminate Race-Based Medicine. Convened in 2023, the Regional Coalition is working together to remove race “adjustments” from 15 commonly used clinical decision support tools that may adversely impact patients’ outcomes, working to phase out the use of race as a variable in some of the tools and collaborate on alternative best practices which do not reinforce a biological understanding of race.
Perhaps most importantly, we are proud to be an organization of individuals. It’s the people of Doylestown Health who represent our greatest strength. Doylestown Health’s culture of caring and community is a promise that is realized through the people who serve this community – our Medical Staff, Associates, and volunteers.
For the next century and beyond, Doylestown Health is committed to providing care of the highest quality, with compassion and expertise, close to home, where our focus is you.
