Temple University Hospital-Episcopal Campus

Founded in 1852, Episcopal is the second-oldest continuously operating hospital in the United States.  The campus is located in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood, in the middle of the city’s largest Latino community.  In 2002, the hospital was transformed from a general acute care hospital to a center of excellence for all of the Temple Health System’s behavioral health services, including a 120-bed Behavioral Health Center and an emergency Crisis Response Center.  The campus also contains a full-service Emergency Department that treats more than 30,000 patients annually and a 16-bed medical-surgical unit.  Your tax-deductible gifts enable Episcopal Hospital physicians, nurses, and patient care staff to provide excellent healthcare using the most advanced technology and treatment methods.

Episcopal serves as a clinical training site for Temple University Medical School.  The psychiatric clinical rotation includes hundreds of medical, nursing, and social work students from Temple University, Villanova University, Abington School of Nursing, and Roxborough School of Nursing.  Additionally, Temple’s Episcopal Campus houses the Temple Transport Team (T3), an ambulatory service transporting over 7,000 patients annually.
