Medical Transportation in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is home to two of the nation's top medical cities. Philadelphia hosts the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Pittsburgh is anchored by UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), one of the largest academic medical centers in the country. Between them, these institutions draw patients from across the Northeast and beyond.
