Penn Medicine and PHMC take over at Mercy hospital in West Philly

Quote:

The University of Pennsylvania Health System early Thursday started running the emergency department at the former Mercy Hospital in West Philadelphia as part of a deal with Public Health Management Corp., Independence Blue Cross, and Trinity Health, the hospital’s former owner.

The partnership is rare in the highly competitive Philadelphia region and an independent expert lauds it for maintaining care in a poor neighborhood while retaining hundreds of jobs.

The new facility is called PHMC Public Health Campus on Cedar. Besides the emergency department, Penn will operate about 100 inpatient beds — including bed for patients needing mental health treatment — under the license of its flagship Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

PHMC, which will own the building at 501 S. 54th St., plans to add additional services, including primary care, outpatient behavioral health services, and respite care for patients leaving a hospital but needing more recovery time before they can go home, PHMC’s chief executive Richard Cohen said.

Negotiations are underway with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia about what services that institution might provide. Cohen said it was possible that CHOP would be the second biggest tenant in the building behind Penn.

1.) I'm surprised to see the E. Locust Ave proposal! I semi-frequently find myself in East Germantown, as I have a friend who lives around there. The surrounding area is admittedly pretty rough; nevertheless, I'm happy to see some real density and development in East Germantown! The area definitely has potential. I wonder if the intention is to target young professionals or La Salle students, or both.

2.) In regards to 801 Girard Ave: can we PLEASE get a Regional Rail stop at 9th and Girard?! Development is booming in every direction from 9th and Girard, save for the Richard Allen Homes, as well as the projects to the north of Girard. Between this, The Poplar, the huge building rising at 10th and Girard, and the slew of smaller projects in Ludlow, East Poplar, and South Kensington, I think a Regional Rail stop would be justified. A station on the outer two tracks--which could serve as a stop for the Lansdale/Doylestown, Manayunk/Norristown, and Fox Chase Lines--would be suitable.

3.) I'm happy to see the area surrounding York-Dauphin Station growing denser. Back when my girl and I were apartment shopping, one of her primary concerns about living in East Kensington was the emptiness surrounding York-Dauphin. The stretch between Kensington Ave/Front Street and Jasper is filling in nicely, with more development coming between Jasper and Emerald.

I'm loving the Chelten Avenue and East Falls proposals.

If Chelten Avenue is successful, it could set off a wave of new construction in G-town. There's tons of historic noteworthy architecture in Germantown, but none of it is on Chelten Avenue. Taking down a bunch of those anonymous one and two story commercial buildings could really tie together what I think of as Germantown's most stable section (Tuplehocken Station) with the sections of West Germantown east of Chelten (aka Southwest Germantown) which includes a few pocket neighborhoods like Penn Knox, etc.

If we continue to see Ridge Avenue in Roxborough densify and sophisticated proposals like what we're seeing with these two developments along with the proposed Tuplehocken Station development in Germantown, things will really start to snowball.

I see a string of neighborhoods with sophisticated main streets tied together with bike lanes and walking trails (through the Wissahickon) that could create a cohesive sense of identity. I'm getting real Portland vibes from it all.

Also, did anyone see the article in the Inqy on development in Roxborough? I've mentioned it recently. That is, how much of it there is, how much higher end it is than has been the case in Roxborough's past, and how it's gone mostly under the radar, yet here's an article stating precisely that.

In the first version of this, the developer had the apartment building wrapped behind the Sunoco gas station on that corner and it looked quite ridiculous. This makes it appear as though they've come to an agreement with the gas station's owner and are proposing townhomes on that lot.

That's a different site. This is the junkyard further down somerset.

Damn I'm getting a real NYC vibe out of these projects, are all the buildings in that area currently gray?

I love the look

Got it.

Very similar. Must be same developer?

That means we're going to have 3 contiguous blocks of basically the same blue paneled building?

I'm not mad about it given how difficult these sites are, but in all seriousness. Where are these people coming from?
