Editor’s note: Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia’s Center City is closing due to “severe financial difficulties.” A statement on the hospital’s website said, “Despite our best efforts to find solutions, none were found. The hospital cannot continue to lose millions of dollars each month and remain in business.” Hahnemann filed for bankruptcy in June, then began gradually cutting back on services. Earlier this month, a bankruptcy judge approved the sale of the hospital’s residency programs to a consortium of six other local hospitals. Hahnemann had been serving the Philly area for over 170 years.
