Hahnemann University Hospital is a tertiary care center in Center City, Philadelphia and the Center City Philadelphia teaching hospital of Drexel University College of Medicine. Established in 1885, it was for most of its history the main teaching hospital associated with its namesake medical school, Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital, founded in 1848 and named for Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of the now-long-repudiated medical theory of homeopathy.
Hahnemann University Hospital, located at the southwest corner, Broad and Vine Streets, Philadelphia, is also affiliated with St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in North Philadelphia.
The hospital is owned by Dallas-based for-profit Tenet Healthcare.
The Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital, founded in 1848, was located on North 15th Street in Philadelphia until 1928. It moved one block east to its current location in 1928 after the completion of what is now its South Tower, with its Art Deco front doors facing Broad Street. Hahnemann's South Tower was America's first skyscraper teaching hospital. In 1979, Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital, needing more space, constructed its North Tower adjacent to the 1928 South Tower. North Tower houses Hahnemann's state-of-the-art emergency room (ER), patient care floors, and other core services and connects by hallway to the medical education building facing 15th Street.
