DOYLESTOWN, PA — Doylestown Health will officially join the University of Pennsylvania Health System - Penn Medicine - on Tuesday, April 1, during a celebration at the hospital.

Leaders and employees from both organizations are scheduled to mark the milestone with a public event at 10 a.m. on the Doylestown Hospital flagship campus, following reviews and approvals by the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office and the Federal Trade Commission.

The event will feature remarks by Jonathan Epstein, MD, Dean, Perelman School of Medicine & Executive Vice President, University of Pennsylvania Health System; Kevin Mahoney, CEO, University of Pennsylvania Health System; Jim Brexler, CEO, Doylestown Health; and Marianne Chabot, Chair of the Boards, Doylestown Hospital and Doylestown Health Foundation and Vice President of Health Services, Village Improvement Association of Doylestown.

Hospital officials said the integration is aimed at "strengthening the two organizations’ shared commitment to delivering the most advanced, convenient and compassionate care to patients and families across Philadelphia’s northern suburbs."
